Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: County-level FAQ — applies to all of Pinal County. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.
Where do I look up someone in jail or prison in Pinal?▼
Pinal County jail and prison lookups split into three layers. (1) **Pinal County Jail** (county-level, pre-trial and short-sentence inmates) — Pinal County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search at https://www.pinal.gov/1636/Inmate-Search or call the Inmate Information Line at (520) 866-5080 / (520) 509-7957 for court dates, bond amounts, or visitation. The Pinal County Adult Detention Center is located in **Florence**, AZ, headquarters at 31 N Pinal Street. (2) **Arizona state prison inmates** (sentenced felons) — Arizona Department of Corrections inmate search at https://corrections.az.gov/inmate-data-search or https://inmatedatasearch.azcorrections.gov/. Florence is also home to two large ADC complexes (ASPC-Florence, ASPC-Eyman) — many state-prison inmates are physically in Pinal County but listed under the state system. (3) **Federal inmates** (BOP) at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ — Florence has the federal supermax (ADX) and FCI Florence; federal lookups are entirely separate. (4) **Court case lookup** for any case that produced a charge — Pinal County Superior Court at the Arizona Judicial Branch portal https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/. Independent search at https://pinalrecords.us/inmate-search. Sources: Pinal County Sheriff, Arizona DOC, Federal BOP, AZ Judicial Branch.
What's the source for arrest records in Arizona?▼
Arizona arrest information comes from the booking agency, with no statewide master list. **Five-source playbook**: (1) **County jail roster** for sheriff arrests and current bookings — MCSO https://www.mcso.org (Maricopa, 602-876-1011); Pima PCSD; Pinal https://www.pinal.gov/1636/Inmate-Search; Yavapai https://apps.yavapaiaz.gov/inmatesearch/; plus 11 other counties. Statewide aggregator (private) https://recentbookings.arizonaofficialrecords.com/. (2) **City PD blotter** for arrests inside city limits — Phoenix Police Adult Arrests Dashboard https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/police/crime-stats-data/crime-stats-maps.html/published/8g516L4Wc; bulk download at https://www.phoenixopendata.com/showcase/d_arrests; Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale all maintain similar logs. (3) **Court records** once charges file (24–72 hours after arrest) — Arizona Judicial Branch https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/caselookup.aspx, all 15 counties. (4) **State prison**: AZ DOC https://corrections.az.gov/inmate-data-search. (5) **Personal authoritative criminal history**: AZ DPS Public Services Portal https://psp.azdps.gov — fingerprint-based Personal Review $22 first / $7 each additional. **For older or closed cases**, file a written A.R.S. § 39-121 records request directly to the originating agency. **For employment use**, FCRA-compliant background-check vendors (Checkr, Sterling, GoodHire) consolidate state, FBI, court, and county into a single report. Sources: AZ DPS, MCSO, Phoenix Police Open Data, AZ Judicial Branch, AZ DOC.
Where do I find business records in Maricopa?▼
Arizona business registrations are split between two state agencies, depending on entity type. (1) **Corporations, LLCs, partnerships, nonprofits** — registered with the **Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC)**, 1300 W Washington St, Phoenix AZ 85007, phone (602) 542-3026. Free public search at https://ecorp.azcc.gov/EntitySearch — returns status, formation date, statutory agent, principal address, officers/managers, annual reports, and document images. (2) **Trade names (DBAs), trademarks, sole proprietorships** — registered with the **Arizona Secretary of State**, 1700 W Washington St, Phoenix AZ 85007. Search at https://apps.azsos.gov/apps/tntp/se.html. (3) **Filed business documents** (Articles of Incorporation, mergers, amendments) at https://efiling.azcc.gov/public-records — image downloads free. (4) **Phoenix/Maricopa city-level business licenses** — City of Phoenix at https://www.phoenix.gov/finance/plt; Mesa at https://www.mesaaz.gov; each city issues its own privilege/transaction tax license. (5) **Statewide TPT (Transaction Privilege Tax) license** — Arizona Department of Revenue at https://aztaxes.gov; required for most retail/service businesses. **Tip**: when checking before doing business, run BOTH ACC and SOS — many DBAs aren't with ACC. Sources: AZ Corporation Commission, AZ Secretary of State, AZ Commerce Authority.
How do I look up a court case in Chandler?▼
Chandler court cases live in two systems depending on case type. (1) **Misdemeanors, traffic, civil violations, and city-ordinance cases** are at the **Chandler Municipal Court**, 200 E Chicago St, Chandler AZ 85225, phone (480) 782-4700. Free case lookup at https://www.chandleraz.gov/residents/chandler-municipal-court/find-my-case — search by name or case number. The Court Calendar Search at https://www.chandleraz.gov/residents/chandler-municipal-court/court-case-search shows all pending cases. (2) **Felonies, divorce, probate, civil over $10,000, and family** go to the **Maricopa County Superior Court** — search at https://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/index.asp (the official docket) or https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/caselookup.aspx (statewide Arizona Judicial Branch portal). Justice Court (small claims, eviction, civil up to $10K) for Chandler residents is the **Kyrene Justice Court** at https://justicecourts.maricopa.gov/app/courtrecords/casesearch. **Sealed cases**, juvenile, and expunged records are not visible. Document copies: $0.50/page uncertified, certified copy $30 first page + $0.50 each additional. Sources: Chandler Municipal Court, Maricopa County Superior Court, Arizona Judicial Branch Public Access.
How do I get a copy of a will in Coconino?▼
A will becomes a public record in Coconino County when it's filed for probate at the **Coconino County Superior Court Clerk** in Flagstaff (200 N San Francisco St, Flagstaff AZ 86001, phone 928-679-7600). Until that filing, a will is private. Three steps to obtain a copy. (1) **Find the case** at the Arizona Judicial Branch public access portal https://apps.supremecourt.az.gov/publicaccess/ — choose Coconino County, search by deceased's name. (2) **Order the copy** from the Clerk: certified copy is **$30 first page + $0.50 each additional**; uncertified copy $0.50 per page. **Probate filing fees** for context: Petition for Formal Probate $351, Application for Informal Probate $176 (so most simple estates use Informal). (3) **Visit in person** if the case is older than 20 years and not yet digitized — the Clerk's archive is at 200 N San Francisco St, hours 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Mon–Fri. Wills filed before 1990 may require a physical archive search ($28 records-search fee). **Important**: a will alone does not transfer property — it has to go through probate to be enforceable. Sources: Coconino County Superior Court Filing Fees (PDF), AZ Judicial Branch Public Access, CDM Law Firm AZ probate guide.
How do I find a divorce record in Tucson?▼
Tucson divorce records are held by the **Pima County Clerk of the Superior Court**, 110 W Congress St, First Floor, Tucson AZ 85701-1317, phone (520) 724-3200 (Clerk's main line) or (520) 724-3240 (records). The Pima County Superior Court is Arizona's second-largest, handling all dissolution-of-marriage filings for Tucson and surrounding communities. Search the public docket at https://www.sc.pima.gov or via the statewide Arizona Judicial Branch portal at https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/caselookup.aspx (pick Pima County). **Filing fees** (effective September 1, 2025): Petition for Dissolution of Marriage $349; Response $269; Decree certified copy $30 first page + $0.50 each additional. The full Pima Superior Court fee schedule is at https://www.sc.pima.gov/media/zq5p0cb5/filingfeesdomesticrelations.pdf. **Older divorces** (pre-2000) typically require an in-person archive visit; the Clerk's records search fee is $28 if the file is closed. **Eligibility**: Arizona divorce decrees are public — anyone can request a copy. Arizona does NOT issue a state-level divorce certificate (unlike many states); the Clerk-issued copy IS the legal document. For sealed financial divisions or child-support orders, only parties or attorneys can access. Sources: Pima County Superior Court, Pima County Clerk of Court, Arizona Judicial Branch.
