Requests for official Marshall County criminal records must go to the public office that keeps the source document. The sheriff's administrative office handles requests for releasable records it holds, while Circuit and Magistrate clerks maintain different court files in Moundsville. The contacts below identify the correct addresses, telephone numbers, and published hours without treating this private site as a government records counter.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve or correct criminal records, conduct an official background check, or accept an expungement filing. The proper government custodian must handle each request.

Need an Official Record?

Marshall County records are divided by custodian. Use the channel that matches the document or service:

  • Court files: use the Marshall County court case lookup and then contact the clerk of the court that heard the matter
  • Fingerprint-linked criminal histories: follow the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau and IdentoGO process
  • Sheriff incident or arrest reports: begin with the Marshall County Sheriff's Office administrative counter
  • Booking and custody records: use West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation offender searches or Northern Regional Jail
  • Municipal police reports: contact the city department or West Virginia State Police unit that created the report
  • Expungement filings: file with the Circuit Court that handled the qualifying case
