Questions about official Madison County criminal records belong with the office that maintains the source file. This private reference site cannot retrieve, change, or certify a record. The contacts below route court files to the Circuit Clerk, local reports and self-checks to the Sheriff's Criminal Records Division, booking questions to the detention facility, and statewide personal record reviews to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private site cannot retrieve or correct criminal records, conduct an official check, issue a certified copy, or accept an Alabama expungement filing.
