Criminal Histories – Marion County Sheriff’s Office
The cost of a limited criminal history is $10.00. Three full business days are needed to process a request.
Criminal histories may be checked by name and date of birth or verified by fingerprints. Where checks are made by name and date of birth only, the Citizens’ Services Desk cannot guarantee that the record of the individual furnished is actually the record of the individual whose record was requested. A full set of fingerprints is needed to assure accuracy. You can have fingerprints taken at the Citizens’ Services Desk, or you may have prints taken at your local law enforcement agency on their print card and mail the card to the Citizens’ Services Desk with your written request for the record.
By State law, the limited criminal history includes all Marion County cases that have a disposition as well as Marion County cases without a disposition- if the case is less than one year old. Cases older than one year without a disposition are not included. The IPD limited criminal history contains only arrests made in Marion County. For charges outside of Marion County, it is necessary to contact the police agency in that area.
