ACCESS TO NEW JERSEY CRIMINAL RECORDS

To find out if an individual has a criminal record in the state of New Jersey we check the repository, the relevant county criminal court records, and civil court records. 

Sixteen (16) of New Jersey's twenty-one (21) counties make felony records available by mail, phone or fax. Only one of those counties requires a signed release by the subject of the search. If the county, or counties, specified can only mail records back to us then there will be an unavoidable delay in processing the record request.
             
Felony records are held in each county's Superior Court, Criminal Division. Civil case filings involving amounts of over $7,500 are also held in the Superior Courts, but in the Law Division, Civil Part. Civil case filings involving amounts of less than $7,500 are held in the Special Civil Part.
