Official Hampshire County records must come from the office that created or maintains them. The contacts below route a court file, police report, regional-jail question, or fingerprint record to the proper government custodian in Romney, Augusta, or the statewide system.

This Is Not a Government Office. Hampshire County Criminal History is a private reference resource. It cannot retrieve, certify, correct, seal, or expunge an official record, and it cannot accept a filing or records request.

Need an Official Record?

Start with the custodian that holds the exact record. Court clerks do not keep an agency’s incident narrative, and the Sheriff does not issue a Circuit Court judgment or a WVSP fingerprint history.

A specific request is easier to route. Give the record type, approximate date, location, agency, case or incident number when known, and the preferred copy format. Current prices, identification requirements, delivery choices, and counter availability should be confirmed directly with the office.
