Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Kentucky if I wasn't convicted?▼
In Kentucky, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Kentucky's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Kentucky State Police.
Are Kentucky marriage records public?▼
Marriage records in Kentucky are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order. For local records, contact your county or town clerk's office; older records may be held by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services – Office of Vital Statistics.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Kentucky?▼
In Kentucky, 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 Kentucky law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in Kentucky is known as "expungement" and runs through the Circuit Court. Typical filing fee: $50 misdemeanor / $500 felony.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Kentucky?▼
Yes. Search the Circuit Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Kentucky counties offer free online case-search portals; for county-specific access contact your county or town clerk's office. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
