Official Scott County criminal-record requests belong with the office that created or maintains the record. The Scott County Sheriff's Office handles its own law-enforcement records, while court files remain with the clerk for the court that heard the case. State criminal-history requests go through the Virginia Department of State Police. The contacts below route common record needs to the public offices in Gate City. This private reference site cannot retrieve, correct, certify, or remove an official record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately operated reference site cannot obtain official criminal records, perform an official background check, change a record, or accept a Scott County expungement filing. Only the responsible public office can provide those services.

Match the record to the Scott County or Virginia custodian that holds it:

  • Felony and Circuit Court files: contact the Scott Circuit Court Clerk in Suite 102
  • Misdemeanor, traffic, and preliminary-hearing files: contact the Scott General District Court in Suite 203
  • State criminal history and official checks: use the Virginia Department of State Police, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Central Criminal Records Exchange
  • Police reports: ask the sheriff or town police department that produced the report
  • Expungement or sealing filings: confirm the current process and charges with the Scott Circuit Court Clerk
