Oklahoma Public Records

• How do I find out if someone I know has an open warrant in Oklahoma?
  Law enforcement departments (such as the Oklahoma County Sheriffs, or city of Tulsa police and others) put their warrant searches online, within their website. Therefore, it depends on the county whether you can easily access them online. A preliminary search of all law enforcement warrant searches available online is worth the time as there is no charge, and they're open to the public.
• How do I find out if someone in Oklahoma has filed for divorce?
  It helps if you know the county since that's where family cases are found. You can search the dockets if you believe it is a case coming up for a hearing recently filed. The search is open a free to the public. Once you know the county, you can check that county clerk's services directly.
• How do I find out about a criminal charge filed against someone in 2001 in Oklahoma?
  You can check court records. Many don't bother checking court records since charges don't always end up in a trial. A thorough investigation would include looking up randomly reliable sources. Another is arrest reports, but the department which provides it will have a policy as to who can request them; if you're not connected to the case, you may not be able to obtain them with a simple public request. The DA's office of jurisdiction files criminal complaints. Case files are generally public records unless sealed by the judge. Oklahoma allows case searches online, which is worth checking into. Filings can be found by case number or name. Click on [Oklahoma Court Records] in the menu below, and you will land on its search form.

Clerks issue these records and have websites with contact information and records division policies.

• How do I get a copy of a police report where someone went to jail in Oklahoma?
  Police reports can be directly obtained from the law enforcement department that took the report. These are arrest reports and are generally requested by the persons involved. Reports of arrest mean any form of information regarding an arrest. Under arrest reports, you can search local periodicals, some of which are here. Otherwise, local police departments publish who they've taken into custody, which is a form of current arrest put online for public view. Oklahoma city's public website publishes a daily log of people arrested and booked into jail.

• Where can I find in Oklahoma an arrest record of someone?
  It's important to find out where the arrest took place. Police agencies make the reports individually and maintain arrest reports. These official records can be requested from the stations' records department. Most, if not all, of the departments have a website that shows the process of getting a police report. You may not qualify to request the arrest record from the police if you are not related to the case, as an attorney or staff for their client's case, a witness, and others that are usually mentioned before making the request.
• Where can I find, in Oklahoma, access to the open records law at the court clerk's office?
  Public records statutes should be statewide as they are presented and passed by the state's legislature. Those laws cover the entire state! Each department can have its procedures, but the laws should still apply. You can look up the state's law and go from there. It is essential to mention the record type to get a more specific answer.
• Where can I find in Oklahoma if arrest records show up in background checks when the offender was not fingerprinted?
  When I asked others "Do arrest records show up in background checks when the offender was not fingerprinted?", I heard several different answers. Even when I'm asking several people at the same time, I still get each with their version of what will happen and why. Going online and looking up the answer took some searching, but after a few pages here and there. The state of Oklahoma's bureau of investigation provides the public with background checks. Although these are named background checks, they are criminal history searches; you will not get other types of records such as divorces, lawsuits, driving records, or anything not criminal. You can obtain felonies and serious misdemeanors. In the Q
