Choose the Oregon record product before you search
| Need | Official route | Key limit |
|---|---|---|
| Your own Oregon criminal history | OSP Copy of Own Record: fingerprint-based, $33. | Oregon record only; the response is mailed to the requestor. |
| Another person’s Oregon history | OSP Open Record: name-based, $33. | Subject notification and 14-day challenge period apply; not a national search. |
| Basic Oregon court case information | OJD Free Records Search. | Basic case information/calendars; some protected cases are unavailable online. |
| Register of Actions / judgment dockets | OJCIN OnLine subscription service. | Case information is not automatically a copy of every filed document. |
For an Open Record on another person, build in the notice step
-
01
Collect the required identifying information
OSP lists the subject’s full name, date of birth and current or last known mailing address among the required data; SSN is requested if available.
-
02
Submit the $33 request
Use the current OSP Open Record method. The fee is charged per request; the service is an Oregon repository search.
-
03
Expect subject notification
OSP says it must notify the individual, including who made the request. The subject has an opportunity to challenge the criminal-offender information.
-
04
Wait for the challenge period
OSP sends the record response if no challenge is received within 14 days after notice. The separate OSP FAQ says this 14-day period cannot be waived even with authorization.
Use Oregon courts when the task is case-specific
Free Records Search
OJD provides free online access to basic case information and calendars for Oregon circuit courts and other listed courts.
OJCIN OnLine
OJCIN is the paid official case-information service containing judgment dockets and the Register of Actions across Oregon state courts, including criminal cases where public.
Local court
OJD also points to court staff and free public access terminals for most cases. This is the route to pursue when online access is limited or the exact court file is needed.
Keep the jurisdiction and document type explicit
Oregon-only history is not a national check
OSP Open Record FAQ says Open Records is Oregon only and OSP cannot use that service to request other states or a national search. Label the result by source and date, and do not describe a court index, an OJCIN register, or an OSP history response as if they were interchangeable documents.
Prepare the request details before opening the Oregon service
-
✓
Choose own-record or another-person route
The identity method and notice rules differ. Do not start an Open Record request when what you actually need is your fingerprint-based own record.
-
✓
Keep the mailing address current
Another-person requests require a current or last known mailing address because OSP must provide notice.
-
✓
Plan for a court follow-up
If the history response identifies a case but you need the filed judgment or register detail, save the case identifiers for OJD/OJCIN research.
