Send a Washington County records request to the office that created or maintains the document. Court pleadings, sheriff reports, booking entries, and TBI criminal histories have separate custodians. Washington County Criminal History is privately operated and cannot obtain, certify, correct, or remove a government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private resource cannot run a Tennessee background check, retrieve or amend a criminal record, or receive a public-record or expungement filing. The government custodian must handle each request.
