How to Retrieve and Review North Dakota Criminal Records
The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) holds the state’s central repository for criminal records. Although BCI accepts fingerprints as an identifier with the request form, they aren’t required, and name-based searches are also routinely performed. The fee is $15 as a certified check or money order.
Who Has Rights to Viewing North Dakota Criminal Records?
The North Dakota BCI allows the public to access limited criminal records, meaning only convictions, jail time served and charges dismissed will be included because these are matters of public record. Law enforcement and approved agencies may access complete North Dakota criminal records.
Correcting Errors in a Criminal Record
If you find a mistake, contact the clerk of court in the county where the arrest or charges were filed, and they will direct you on how to proceed.
