This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.
Need an Official Record?
Use the office tied to the type of Kauaʻi record requested:
- Court case files: see the Kauaʻi court case lookup, or contact the Fifth Circuit clerk
- Criminal records and rap sheets: contact the Hawaiʻi Department of the Attorney General, Hawaiʻi Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC)
- Police and arrest reports: contact the Kauaʻi Police Department Records Section
- Official background checks: order through the Hawaiʻi Department of the Attorney General, Hawaiʻi Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC)
- Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
- Expungement and record sealing: file with the court that heard the case
