Oklahoma Free Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


In Oklahoma, any person can access public files because of their Open Record Act. Oklahoma Criminal Records can be retrieved at the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. If you want to search for the files of an offender, you can do so by visiting the official website of the bureau. If you want to search for the files concerning serious and sex offenders, you can visit the official website of the Department of Corrections.

Accessing your own criminal record is also allowed. If there are any inaccuracies or false information, you may ask to have it checked and corrected. If you are proven not guilty of the crime you are or were charged with, you can request to have the files expunged. And although the records are accessible by the public, there are certain limitations in terms of how the records can be used. They should not be used to harm, embarrass, defame, or blackmail another person. Anyone caught doing otherwise will be punished accordingly by the law.

There is always the presence of bad people in the society. And it is difficult to predict what bad deed they are planning of doing next. It is always handy to know the history of certain people, especially if you encounter them on daily basis. If you know which people have a history of having troubles with the law, you, and your family, will know who to refrain from getting acquainted with.

In a criminal file you will discover police reports, arrest reports, pending warrants, and others. It will also include some personal details of a person such as their name, alias, address, height, weight, eye color, skin color and many more. There are certain details of a criminal file that are deemed as private information and they are not revealed to the general public. If an investigation is still being executed, the files will not be available for request to just anybody unless you are the assigned investigator or you are an arresting officer.

The state bureau accepts requests for criminal records. If you want to submit a request, you should have knowledge of at least the full name and the birthday of the offender whose records you want to view, obtain, or both. A name-based search costs $15. If the full or last name of the offender is common such as Johnson, Smith, and others, it will take more time to find the specific record. Providing additional pieces of information will help shorten the return period. You can also choose to do a finger-print-based search which costs $19. If you search the Department of Corrections website, you will be charged $2 per search.

You can also retrieve Free Public Criminal Records by looking at various websites that are not ran by the government but has the permission of the government to accept requests and supply the needed documents of users. Just be cautious with the websites because, unfortunately, not all websites that offer such documents are credible. Research on their background first and find out if other users have a positive feedback on them or not.
