Questions about official Washington County criminal records belong with the government office that maintains the requested file. Court documents go to the Circuit Clerk in Potosi, while sheriff reports and local booking records go to the Washington County Sheriff. Statewide criminal-history responses come from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. This private site cannot retrieve or change those records.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve criminal records, perform official checks, correct records, or accept Washington County expungement filings.

Need an Official Record?

  • Filed criminal cases and certified court documents: Washington County Circuit Clerk, Court Annex, 104 North Missouri Street, Potosi, MO 63664; 573-438-4171; Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

  • Potosi police reports: Potosi Police Department, 1 Police Plaza, Potosi; the city publishes 573-438-5468 in its police contact block.
  • Statewide criminal history: Missouri State Highway Patrol, Criminal Justice Information Services Division through MACHS or its current paper request process.
  • Expungement petitions: begin with the court authorized by Missouri Revised Statutes §610.140; ask the Washington County Circuit Clerk about current local filing requirements.
  • Police or incident reports: contact the sheriff, police department, or Missouri State Highway Patrol unit that created the report.

The county has not published a separate sheriff records counter, online request form, or report fee schedule. Call 573-438-5478 for the current request route and use a custodian-specific Missouri Sunshine Law request when no form is available.
