Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free statewide criminal search in Missouri?▼
Missouri's official criminal-history repository is operated by the state law-enforcement agency. Free public access to a complete criminal history is generally not available; an official background check typically requires fingerprints and a fee. County-level court records can be searched at no cost through individual court websites.
How do I search Missouri court cases?▼
Missouri's court system is headed by the Missouri Supreme Court. Trial-court business is handled by the Circuit Court (46 circuits). Many Missouri courts publish docket searches and case lookups online — see the Court Records tab above for direct links.
Where do I search Missouri business entities?▼
The Missouri Secretary of State (or equivalent agency) operates the official business-entity search. You can typically search corporations, LLCs, LPs, and other registered entities by name or registration number. See the Licenses or Business tab above.
What is the difference between Assessor and Recorder in Missouri?▼
The Assessor determines property values for tax purposes. The Recorder (or Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other property documents. Some county offices combine these roles, others keep them separate. Check the specific county page for details.
How do I obtain a Missouri birth or death certificate?▼
Missouri vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce certificates) are issued by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (Bureau of Vital Records) and, in many cases, by local county clerks. Fees and ID requirements are set by the issuing agency.
Are Missouri property records free to search?▼
Most county-level property and recorded-document searches are free for basic information through the Assessor or Recorder website. Certified copies of deeds typically have a per-page fee. Direct links are in the Property Records tab above.
How do I check a Missouri sex offender?▼
The Missouri sex offender registry is maintained by the state law-enforcement agency under the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act. The registry is searchable by name, ZIP code, or address.
