About Ohio Open Public Record

Public access to the records and information of the Ohio state government is regulated by the Ohio Open Records Law, or as it is sometimes referred to, the Sunshine Law. This law mandates that all government records be made available for public inspection upon request.

  • How do I find an upcoming court date in Ohio?
    You can select the county where the filing is, thereafter look up that court's calendar online. Without knowing which county, it's hard to say specifically. Using Huron county as an example, select the county on this page, then go to the court link and the landing page will have an option to search their calendars.

  • Need to know if someone was charged and found guilty of rape in Ohio?
    You can either request the police report directly from the department (which made the report) or look up cases filed in the criminal court of jurisdiction. Court calendars also show appearances online that are easy and open to public access. The public services available mostly depends on what the county or city puts online, some areas can have better online searches than others.

  • I am searching for my biological father and his side of the family. All I know about my father is that he is a criminal. Is there a way of finding info about him without him finding out about me?
    If you begin to search, within many of the records out there can be accessed online, you will notice that public records are accessible by anyone without notice to the person in the record. Criminal records which can be found with an online search in many cases, are routinely conducted by the public. Private companies (which have the same public records access as the average person) that conduct background checks, will specify that the person searched is not contacted or notified. Someone can check your records also and you would never know unless it's an employer or other exceptions. But, by general rule, anyone can request your court records and you wouldn't know it and court records are public. Note that public does not necessarily mean they're open and free to everyone. You may have to pay some fees for convenience, or a courthouse visit and copy fees.
