How to Search Georgia Criminal Records

Georgia criminal records are maintained by the state law enforcement agency (typically a State Police, Department of Public Safety, or Bureau of Investigation). Court-level criminal cases are searchable through the state judiciary.

  • Statewide criminal record check: through the Georgia state law enforcement agency — typically a fingerprint-based search with a fee.
  • Sex offender registry: every state operates a public sex offender registry searchable by name and ZIP code.
  • Inmate locator: the Georgia Department of Corrections offender lookup covers all state prisons.
  • Court criminal cases: free name search via state judiciary public portals.
  • Federal criminal cases: PACER.
