How to Search Virginia Public Records

Virginia's court, criminal, vital, property, voter, and licensing records are maintained across state agencies and the 95 counties listed below. Use the tabs to filter by record type, or jump directly to any source.

  • Courts: The Supreme Court of Virginia sits at the top of the system; trial-court business is handled by the Circuit Court, General District Court, Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court. Most courts publish dockets and case lookups online.
  • Criminal history: Official background checks run through the Virginia State Police (VSP); the Virginia criminal records page covers the current fee and request process.
  • Vital records: Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates are issued by the Virginia Office of Vital Records and may also be available locally.
  • Property & recorded documents: Maintained at the county level by the Assessor, Recorder, or Clerk's office.
  • Business filings: the State Corporation Commission operates the official business-entity search.

Virginia Public Records at a Glance

Virginia complicates geography before it complicates records: 38 independent cities operate outside county government entirely, so Richmond city and Henrico County, for example, keep entirely separate books. Court dockets are strong — the judiciary's online case information covers circuit and district courts across nearly the whole state, indexed on our Virginia court records page. The State Police run a consent-based criminal history program; the public route is the court docket search. Birth and death certificates come from the Office of Vital Records, with DMV offices able to print many of them — a Virginia convenience. Circuit court clerks record deeds jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Corporations file with the State Corporation Commission, not a secretary of state. 296 official sources below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Virginia keeps public records at three levels: federal (FBI, federal courts via PACER), state (court of last resort, state police, department of health, secretary of state), and county-level (sheriffs, clerks, recorders, assessors). Each county maintains its own court, criminal-justice, property, and vital-records offices linked from the county pages below.

For statewide trial-court information, start at the Virginia Court System: www.vacourts.gov. Virginia federal cases are searched through PACER. For local case dockets, see the Court Records tab and the county page for your area.

Virginia's official statewide criminal-history check is run by the Virginia State Police (VSP) at vsp.virginia.gov. Most state-level checks require fingerprints and a fee. A nationwide FBI Identity History Summary is available separately.

Certified Virginia vital records are issued by the Official Virginia Vital Records at www.vdh.virginia.gov. Recent local events (births, deaths, marriages) can often also be requested from the county clerk or local registrar where the event was filed.

Most online record indexes in Virginia are free to search; fees apply for certified copies, fingerprint background checks, full document images at the recorder, and statewide bulk data. Each agency publishes its current fee schedule — for example the Virginia Court System (courts), the Official Virginia Vital Records (vital records), the Official Virginia Voter Records (elections), and the Official Virginia Professional & Occupational Licenses (licenses).
