How to Search New Hampshire Criminal Records

Search the State Criminal Repository

New Hampshire's central criminal history repository holds felony and misdemeanor conviction records statewide. Access it through the state's official online portal or by submitting a request to the state police/attorney general office.

Search County Court Records

Many criminal records are filed at the county level. Search individual county court clerk portals for case-level detail on criminal charges, dispositions, sentencing, and probation status.

Check the New Hampshire Sex Offender Registry

Sex offenses carry mandatory registration requirements. Search the official New Hampshire sex offender registry to verify current registration status and residential address.

Search Federal Records via PACER

Federal criminal cases (drug trafficking, wire fraud, federal weapons charges) are available through PACER. PACER charges $0.10/page after the free $30/quarter threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions
New Hampshire Criminal Records FAQ
Are New Hampshire criminal records public?

Yes. In New Hampshire, criminal conviction records are public documents accessible through the state repository, county court clerks, and online portals. Arrests without conviction, juvenile records, and expunged records may be restricted or sealed.

How do I get a certified copy of a criminal record?

Request a certified criminal history from the New Hampshire state police or the county court clerk where charges were filed. You'll need to provide identifying information (name, DOB, SSN in some states) and pay a fee typically ranging from $15–$30 for a state-level check.

Can I get a New Hampshire criminal record expunged?

Eligibility for expungement depends on the offense type, sentence, and waiting period under New Hampshire law. Many misdemeanors and first-time non-violent offenses may qualify. See the New Hampshire Expungements Guide for full eligibility criteria.
