ACCESS TO VIRGINIA STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS

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

Sixty-eight (68) of Virginia's ninety-five (95) counties report that felony records are available by phones, fax or mail. 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.
          
Each of the ninety-five (95) counties of Virginia has a Circuit Court. These Circuit Courts handle felony records and civil case filings involving amounts of over $10,000. Also located in each county are General District Courts. These courts handle misdemeanor records and civil case filings involving amounts of less than $10,000. Additionally, Virginia has cities which are considered "independent cities" because they have a court which handles cases for that city only.
