This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve criminal records, conduct official background checks, correct or remove records, or receive expungement filings. Those services must come from the government office that maintains the record.
Need an Official Record?
Use these official routes for the records most often requested in Northampton County:
- Arrest, incident, and jail records: contact the Northampton County Sheriff's Office, which also receives Eastern Shore Regional Jail record requests
- Misdemeanor and traffic files: call the Northampton General District Court clerk
- Felony files, certified orders, and expungement filings: contact the Northampton Circuit Court clerk
- Virginia criminal-history responses: use the Virginia Department of State Police SP-167 process
- Police incident reports: request the record from the law-enforcement agency that created it
- Juvenile and domestic-relations files: contact the courthouse directly because juvenile case information is confidential and not available online
