Criminal History Information
Effective June 1, 1997, Clay County Court Administration no longer provides criminal record verifications, searches or history checks.
The central repository for statewide felony and gross misdemeanor criminal history information is the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which is required by law to release criminal history information; you are strongly urged to contact the BCA at 651-793-2420 or visit the BCA website.

The District Court maintains a record of each case filed in this county only, including felony, gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor cases.
