Criminal History Background Checks
The Scott County Sheriffs Office can provide a criminal background check for Scott County and Buffalo and Blue Grass Police Departments only. It does not include juvenile records, traffic records (which may be obtained from the Iowa Department of Transportation) nor any other agency. We suggest you check with other agencies in this area for possible additional information. This criminal records check does not include disposition information on any of the charges. It simply states that the individual was arrested. We caution your use of this information without full court disclosure on the disposition of each charge. See application.
You may need this information for:
- Employment
- Housing
- Hunting
- Immigration
- Adoption
You will need a current photo ID and $5.00.
Verification of Past Residency
If you are a former student and no longer live in Scott County and need a prior history background check you will need the following:
- Letter
- Copy of drivers license notarized
- $5.00 fee
- 3 consecutive months of bills (i.e.; electric, water or gas) addressed to person applying with current Scott County address
If you are in need of a statewide criminal background check, you will need to contact the Department of Criminal Investigation in Des Moines at (515) 725-6072.
