ACCESS TO WISCONSIN STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS

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

Seventy (70) of Wisconsin's seventy-two (72) counties as well as the state repository allow access to criminal records by phone, 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.
           
There is one Circuit Court in each where all felony, misdemeanor and civil records are held. The search request should specify whether a criminal or civil record search is desired.
