Requests for official Alachua County criminal records belong with the agency that created or maintains the file. This private reference resource cannot obtain documents or submit a request for a visitor. The routes below direct each common record type to its government custodian.

This Is Not a Government Office. Alachua County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot retrieve criminal records, conduct official checks, correct or remove a government record, or receive sealing and expunction filings. Contact the responsible public office for those services.
