Questions about official Richmond City criminal records belong with the agency that created or keeps the file. This private resource cannot retrieve or correct a record. The contacts below route court files, police reports, booking information, and Virginia criminal-history requests to their proper government custodians.

This Is Not a Government Office. This resource is privately operated. It cannot retrieve records, conduct official checks, change an agency file, or accept a Richmond Circuit Court expungement petition. Contact the responsible public office for those services.
