Questions about official Hanover County criminal records belong with the office that created or maintains the record. The contacts below route court copies, sheriff reports, jail bookings, and compiled Virginia histories to their proper government custodians. Hanover County Criminal History is privately operated and cannot retrieve, amend, certify, or accept filings for those records.

This Is Not a Government Office. Hanover County Criminal History is privately run. It cannot retrieve or correct records, perform an official check, or receive an expungement or sealing filing. Direct those needs to the government custodian.
