Georgia Criminal Records

To begin, add a criminal record or view a list of locations and resources for Georgia criminal records.

Georgia criminal records are maintained by the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC), established in 1973 as a division of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) to serve as the primary provider of criminal records in Georgia. The GCIC is mandated by state law as well as binding agreements with federal agencies.

GCIC also operates a state protective order registry that, since 2002, has stored protective orders issued by the Superior Courts relating to criminal records in Georgia as well as ongoing cases before the court. Additionally, the Georgia Sexually Violent Offender Registry (SVO) is available online as a public service with more than 5,800 images of registered sex offenders in the state.

While the GCIC maintains criminal records in Georgia, the general public may or may not be allowed access to those records depending on state, district and local statutes. You may contact the GCIC for details about Georgia criminal records.
