Missouri Criminal Records: Searching When Access is Limited
Missouri criminal records offer limited online access compared to other states. But public access is allowed for sex offender data as required by federal law. The MO State Judiciary also allows an online search of criminal cases in both Eastern and Western jurisdictions.
Missouri criminal records from the State Department of Corrections are not searchable online. E-mail requests for these records will be entertained (usually in the next 24 hours) but will only yield general information. Moreover, if your intention is to check on a prospective mate's or employee's history, the MO State Corrections will not give you Missouri criminal records data. MO Criminal Records: Your Search OptionsMO is one of the states that limit public access to state criminal records. Aside from not making an offender search tool available to the public, to get any kind of detail on an offender's status you will have to seek out the person's caseworker or parole officer. However, the state does allow public access to an online search engine for sex offenders. It also allows you to download the entire MO Sex Offender Registry at the Highway Patrol website. You can also use the sex offender toll-free hotline 1-888-SOR-MSHP (767-6747). Another option is to look for convictions among the cases in the Federal Judiciary's Electronic Case Files (ECF). The cases are divided into two databases, the Eastern and Western Districts, and both are searchable online. You will be charged $.08 per page as access fee and can view the court documents as PDF files. If you are verifying convictions across several states, the most convenient website to use would be the Federal Judiciary website. It has a click-able map of the United States that can turn up criminal records (as well as civil and property cases) by state. You can also use the search tool at the top of the page if you know the zip code you are searching in. If you have any difficulty with an online search of Missouri criminal records and you feel that the data you need is critical to the security of your family or property, you may contact the Highway Patrol at tel. no. (573) 526-6153, e-mail mshpcrid@mshp.dps.mo.gov, or visit the Criminal Records & Identification Division on 1510 East Elm Street, Jefferson City.
