ACCESS
TO MAINE STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS
To
find out if an
individual has a criminal record in the
state
of Maine we check the state repository, the relevant
county criminal court records, and civil
court records.
|
|
| The
Maine State Repository limits access to Felony and Misdemeanor convictions ONLY. |
|
| Signed
release is NOT required. |
|
All
sixteen (16) counties in Maine allow criminal
record searches by phone or mail. If
the county specified can only mail records back
to us then there will be an unavoidable delay.
There are
seventeen (17) Superior Courts, one in every
county except Aroostook which has two. These
Courts hold felony records and misdemeanor case
in which a jury trial was held. Also held in
Superior Courts are civil case filings involving
amounts of less than $30,000. Some counties
have more than one District Court with several
courthouses in which cases may be filed. Each
District Court Clerk has access to records from
all cases at each courthouse. To ensure that a
thorough record search is done, the
request should specify that the search includes
all courthouses within the district. |
|
| Records
are available for convictions dating from 1937 to
today. Prior to 1937, searches can be
conducted by Federal or County records. |
|
| Cost is
$22 per individual
searched for a statewide search and $20 for a
county criminal. |
|
| Delivery
Time: Turnaround time is approximately 3-5 business
days. Results are e-mailed to you, or faxed on
request. We cannot guarantee turnaround time as we
are dependent on the state getting back to us in a
timely fashion. If the county specified can only
mail records back to us then there will be an
unavoidable delay. |

searched for (*required): |

year or more of jail time.
