RHODE ISLAND

ACCESS TO RHODE ISLAND STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS

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

The Rhode Island State Repository limits access to Felony and Misdemeanor convictions ONLY.
Signed release IS required along with a copy of the applicant's drivers license.
State records contain information submitted to the State of Rhode Island from each county and other criminal justice agencies. Records are updated daily.
Records are available for convictions dating from 1920 to today.  Prior to 1920, searches can be conducted by Federal or County records.

All five (5) Rhode Island counties reported that criminal records are available.  However, four (4) of these counties must be searched in person. 
              
Criminal records are held in the Superior Courts.  Civil case filings involving amounts of over $5000 are held in Superior Courts. Civil case filings involving amounts of less than $10,00 are held in District Courts. Civil cases involving amounts of $5,000 to $10,000 can be filed in either Court.  Bristol and Providence Counties share on location.

Cost is $18 per individual searched statewide and $20 for county criminal records.
Delivery Time: Turnaround time is approximately 7-9 business days for statewide searches. It takes only 3-5 business days for county criminal records. 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, or counties, specified can only mail records back to us then there will be an unavoidable delay in processing the record request.
We need you to provide the following for each individual being searched for (*required):
  • *Full Name, first, last and middle (if applicable)
  • *Date of Birth
  • *Social Security Number (Required for county criminal records)
  •  Gender

  • Arrest Date
  • File Date
