Questions about an official Berkeley County record belong with the office that created or maintains it. The contacts below route requests among the sheriff, court clerks, state repository, and corrections system. Berkeley County Criminal History is a private reference resource and cannot answer for those agencies.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private site cannot retrieve an official file, perform an authorized background check, change a record, or receive an expungement petition. Contact the record custodian for those services.
