Criminal History Background Checks:

The Scott County Sheriff's Office can provide a criminal background check for the Scott County Sheriff's Office only. It does not include juvenile records, traffic records (which may be obtained from the Iowa Department of Transportation) nor any other agency. We suggest you check with other agencies in this area for possible additional information. This criminal records check does not include disposition information on any of the charges. It simply states that the individual was arrested. We caution your use of this information without full court disclosure on the disposition of each charge. See application.

You may need this information for:

  • Employment
  • Housing
  • Hunting
  • Immigration
  • Adoption

You will need a current photo ID and $5.00.

If you are in need of a statewide Iowa Criminal History Record check, you will need to contact the Dissemination Unit within the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation in Des Moines. DCI accepts online application and payment for criminal history record checks.

Verification of Past Residency:

If you are a former student and no longer live in Scott County and need a prior history background check you will need the following:

  • Letter
  • Copy of drivers license notarized
  • $5.00 fee
  • 3 consecutive months of bills (i.e.; electric, water or gas) addressed to person applying with current Scott County address
