How Records Work in Arkansas

Arkansas's court and arrest records run across state, county, and arresting-agency levels. The state judiciary under the Supreme Court of Arkansas maintains court records through the CaseInfo statewide search. Arkansas State Police holds statewide criminal history. Most local records — deeds, marriage licenses, Circuit Court filings — are held at the county level.

Arkansas has 75 counties. Each has its own Circuit Court Clerk, County Clerk, sheriff, and assessor maintaining separate records. Ten counties have two county seats due to historical geography — Arkansas, Carroll, Clay, Craighead, Franklin, Logan, Mississippi, Prairie, Sebastian, and Yell each maintain two courthouses. CaseInfo provides good statewide coverage for Circuit and District Court cases; older records and specialized filings may require a clerk's office visit.

What this page does not show: Not every record is online. CaseInfo provides strong statewide coverage, but older records and specialized filings may require a Circuit Clerk's office visit. When in doubt, call the agency directly.

This page is a guide to help you find official records — it is not the official database. All information comes from government sources. Verify details directly with the agency that holds the records.
