Get A Copy Of Arizona Arrest Records

By Ben Kingsley


One of the major sources for information is public records. Public records such as births, deaths, marriages and divorces contain information about the person and can serve as their supporting documents. Records such as arrest, police, and incidents are also important as they serve as background information on the person. Although such records are available to the public, some records such as Arizona arrest records are limited to the public and can only be accessed by authorized agencies.

For those who want a copy of public arrest records, there are several ways to do so. Researchers can send their request via online, walk in, standard mail and through fax. All requests must be made in writing or submitted online using the site's Public Records Request Form. All requests once processed will generate an invoice and this will be sent to the person requesting the records via USPS, email or fax.

To make payments, the Office accepts several payments including money cheques, cashier's checks or business checks. However they do not accept personal checks. The whole process can take about fifteen to twenty days and would start from the day the Office receives the request. The Office reminds those requesting to make a follow-up after the 20th day only. As the Office does not have an entrance, walk-ins or in person request is not available; however, the person requesting the records can drop their request(s) at the Department Records Unit public counter. Before records are released, the records are reviewed and the person requesting the records should make an appointment with the Document Custodian to completely review the record.

The State charges fees with the request that a person makes. For a 9-page record, the Office charges $9 and $1 for each additional page. For other media formats the Office charges ($35) for CD/DVD, ($35) for 8 x 10 photos, ($5) for cassette tapes and ($35) for photo CD copies. To ensure that all information is correct, the government sets up review sessions. The review is via appointment only and should be done by contacting the Office and leaving their name, contact number and the invoice/receipt number.

To request for one's criminal history record, one can check out the Criminal History Records Section of the State. The Records section serves as the Central Repository of all criminal records of the State. The request is free in Arizona and all one has to do is to download a copy of the Records Review Packet available from the State's website, fill up the packet and send in the packet. Processing would take about two weeks and results will be sent to the person's address.

For those who are interested, want to do bulk arrest search, and are time constrained, one way to make a quick search is to check out commercial public records websites that offer public record query. Many sites online offer such services and some do provide the service free for basic information and a minimal fee for complete access to the record. Additionally, one can do bulk searches as well thus enabling one to complete the examinations in a shorter time.
