Official Washington County records come from the office that created or maintains them. The routing below distinguishes sheriff and jail files, Circuit Clerk case records, ALEA criminal history, and police reports. Washington County Criminal History is privately operated and cannot issue, change, or certify a government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference cannot retrieve official criminal records, conduct an official check, correct a government file, or accept an Alabama expungement petition. The responsible public office must handle each service.
