This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.
Need an Official Record?
Use the record type and originating agency to choose the proper Clarke County or Georgia contact:
- Court case files: see criminal court case records, or contact the clerk of the court that heard the case
- Criminal histories and rap sheets: contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's GCIC or a participating local law-enforcement agency
- Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Clarke County Sheriff's Office at 3015 Lexington Road, Athens, Georgia 30605, or call 762-400-8001 or 762-400-8002
- Police and incident reports: use Athens-Clarke Police/Corrections GovQA or contact 3035 Lexington Road, Athens, Georgia 30605, 762-400-7000
- Superior and State Court files: contact the Clerk at the Clarke County Courthouse, 325 East Washington Street, Athens, Georgia 30601, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Record restriction and sealing: ask the court and prosecuting agency about the case; the local Second Chance Desk also offers scheduled self-help
The right counter depends on custody. Sheriff booking records come from the Lexington Road jail office, Police/Corrections reports route through GovQA, and the full criminal case belongs with the Clerk of Superior and State Courts at the courthouse.
