Oklahoma Criminal Records: Who Can View Them?
Oklahoma is an open-records state, meaning anyone of the general public may request Oklahoma criminal records. Law enforcement and authorized employers have access to complete records, however.
How to Resolve Errors on a Criminal Record
If you feel your criminal record is incorrect, you must contact the arresting agency, and they will inform the OSBI of the results should your criminal record need to be corrected.
In order to retrieve Oklahoma background checks and criminal records, take the following steps:
Step 1:
Visit the Oklahoma State website to download the Oklahoma Background Check Request Form.
Step 2:
Fill out the form, making sure to choose either the “Name Based” or “State Fingerprint Based” search. For fingerprint searches, have your fingerprints taken at your local law enforcement agency and enclose them with the request form.
Step 3:
Mail the completed form with a $15 fee (certified check, money order or credit card) for a name search or $19 for a fingerprint search to OSBI or drop off the request in person.
