Buchanan County record requests must go to the office that maintains the source file. Court pleadings and dispositions belong with the Circuit Clerk, while county arrest, jail, and sheriff records begin at the Law Enforcement Center. Statewide criminal-history questions go to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The contacts below route each request to an official custodian rather than this privately operated reference resource.

This Is Not a Government Office. Buchanan County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot retrieve official records, conduct government criminal-history checks, amend a record, or receive an expungement filing. Send each request to the responsible public office.

Need an Official Record?

Use the record type to identify the right Buchanan County or Missouri custodian:

  • Court files and dispositions: review the Court Case Lookup, then contact the Buchanan County Circuit Clerk for public documents or older files
  • State criminal-history responses: use the Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division and MACHS
  • County arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office
  • Police incident reports: ask the law-enforcement agency that created the report
  • Missouri Sex Offender Registry records: use the state registry and verify local information with the sheriff
  • Expungement filings: file with the Missouri court that handled the eligible charge or finding
