Request your own Oregon criminal-history record: next steps
Guidance reviewed 2026-10-11. Use the fingerprint-based Copy of Own Record request to obtain your Oregon history or a clearance letter.
Start here: Download the current Copy of Own Record form and read its fingerprint and payment requirements.
Where and how to proceed: full steps and checklist
1. Is this for me?
Individuals requesting their own Oregon criminal history. This is different from a name-based Open Record request about another person.
Service area: Oregon or applicable federal route; confirm venue and agency jurisdiction.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
Timing: Confirm current fees and fingerprinting hours before visiting or mailing. Allow for processing and postal delivery; no completion date is guaranteed.

Details to confirm with the provider
Fees and fee-waiver eligibility have not been separately verified for this route. Check the current provider instructions. For a court filing, ask the court about its fee-waiver or deferral forms.
5. What happens after I submit?
Details to confirm with the provider
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Details to confirm with the provider
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
