About Arizona County Background Checks

Each county sheriff's office in Arizona maintains its own criminal records database. These offices process fingerprints, issue clearance letters, and provide copies of arrest records and incident reports. Services and fees vary by location. Most counties charge between $3 and $10 for fingerprinting and $5 to $15 for record copies.

For statewide criminal history checks, contact the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The DPS Central State Repository holds records from all Arizona counties. You can apply for a Fingerprint Clearance Card through the DPS Public Services Portal.
