The 4-Step Dubois County Records Pathway
1
Step 1 — Start at the Dubois County clerk/courthouse
For most local records (court cases, property deeds, marriage licenses), the Dubois County clerk's office is the first stop.
2
Step 2 — Use the Indiana statewide systems
Criminal background, court case search, voter registration, and professional licensing are all run at the Indiana state level — not by the county.
3
Step 3 — Federal sources for federal records
Federal court cases (PACER), federal tax liens (IRS), military records (NPRC), and immigration data (ICE) are all federal — not held by the county.
4
Step 4 — Cross-check before relying on data
Most county portals lag 24-48 hours behind the courthouse. For time-sensitive verification, call the clerk directly.
Five Things People Get Wrong About Dubois County Records
❌ Myth: "Dubois County maintains all criminal records."
✓ Truth: False. Criminal records for Dubois County are held by the Indiana state repository, NOT the county. The county sheriff has only the local arrest log.
❌ Myth: "Records sealed in Dubois County are gone everywhere."
✓ Truth: False. Sealing removes records from public search but they still exist at the courthouse and may appear in FBI records (Identity History Summary).
❌ Myth: "Free 'instant background' sites have Dubois County data."
✓ Truth: False. Only the official Indiana state repository has verified, current Dubois County data. Free sites often have stale data.
❌ Myth: "The Dubois County assessor's value is what I'll sell my home for."
✓ Truth: False. The Dubois County assessor's value is for property tax purposes only — usually below market value.
❌ Myth: "All county records older than 50 years are public."
✓ Truth: Partially false. Public-records rules vary by record type AND state. Court records and deeds are usually older-public; vital records remain restricted longer (often 75-125 years).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up court cases in Dubois County?
Dubois County court cases are searchable through the Indiana Courts Case Search - MyCase portal: https://public.courts.in.gov/mycase/. Indiana also operates a state-level case lookup through the Odyssey Case Search system. For federal matters, see PACER.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Indiana?
In Indiana, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Indiana law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process runs through the sentencing court.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Indiana?
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Indiana record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
Are Indiana criminal records public?
Mostly yes. Indiana's public-records law makes adult arrests, court filings, and conviction histories accessible to anyone unless a specific statutory exemption applies. Juvenile cases and sealed records are generally excluded by statute.
