This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot retrieve criminal records, perform official background checks, change or remove a record, or accept a set-aside or sealing filing. Those services remain with the responsible government custodian.
Need an Official Record?
Match the record to the Burt County or Nebraska office that created or maintains it:
- Court case files: review Burt County criminal court cases, then request copies from County Court or the Clerk of District Court
- Criminal records and RAP sheets: request the Nebraska product from the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division
- Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Burt County Sheriff and jail
- Official background checks: use Nebraska State Patrol Limited Criminal History Searches and follow its authorization rules
- Police and incident reports: ask the law-enforcement agency that wrote the report
- Set-asides and juvenile sealing: file with the court that handled the eligible case
