Questions about official Clay County criminal records belong with the office that created or keeps the record. The contacts below route court files to the Circuit Clerk, booking material to the sheriff and jail, police reports to the originating agency, and statewide personal record reviews to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve an official file, conduct an official background check, correct or remove a record, or receive an expungement petition. Those tasks must go directly to the responsible public office.
