Did You Know? Vermont’s VCIC Is the Only Official Source for Criminal History in the State

The Vermont Crime Information Center (VCIC) is the sole official source for criminal history information in Vermont. VCIC records are identity-based, meaning information is linked when a positive identification is made. No other agency in Vermont maintains an equivalent criminal history repository.

Walk-in record checks are available at VCIC during business hours, and name-based conviction reports can be obtained with immediate online results. Court records are accessible separately through the Vermont Judiciary, but court records and VCIC criminal history serve different purposes.

About Vermont Criminal Records: Criminal history record information is maintained by the state central repository. Court records may provide additional case-level detail. For official background checks, contact the state criminal history agency listed above. Sex offender registries are updated by local law enforcement and maintained at the state level.
