Did You Know? Iowa Criminal History Checks Are Available to Anyone — But Results May Be Incomplete
Iowa allows anyone to request a criminal history record check through the Division of Criminal Investigation. However, not all criminal events may be in the DCI system. The DCI repository relies on law enforcement agencies submitting arrest and disposition data — and some records may be missing or delayed.
Iowa Courts Online provides a separate search of the statewide court docket. Court records may contain case information that has not yet been reported to DCI, or vice versa. For thorough research, checking both systems is recommended.
