Greene County public records, comprising property, marriage, divorce and court records, are available for open access and obtainment. This right is conferred upon citizens due to Ohio’s Sunshine Laws and the federal government’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Whether searching for criminal, arrest, or warrant information, the public may stumble upon some challenges and complexities in locating these records–mostly because they can be found in multiple agencies. Some statutes may also limit access to certain records, such as probation information.
Records Page takes the stress out of this process as we aim to make acquiring records–such as requesting prisoner information or running background checks–a streamlined process by providing helpful guidance tools and knowledge. Citizens can also opt to perform a free public records search in person or online to find any record they are looking for.
How To Find Arrest Logs, Mugshots & the Reason for Detainment in Greene County
Being able to locate arrest information on offenders is an important aspect of making public records available to citizens, whether it is to give them access to legal counsel or to locate family members—the search of these records should start at the county level. This means turning to custodians of Greene County arrest records of offenders in county jail, which the Sheriff’s Offices mostly generate.
This strategy is helpful because it provides an encompassing search that covers the entire county, including its cities, towns and villages. County Sheriff’s Offices tend to have online jail rosters of offenders housed in jails, making the search quick and convenient.
Interested parties that still feel an individual they are looking for is located in the county but not being held by the Sheriff’s Office can turn to police departments located within cities. These types of searches are especially helpful if an offender has just been taken into custody; it is standard procedure for inmates to be held at city jails before transferring them to the county jail, typically after twenty-four hours.
It also takes some time before records are created at the Sheriff’s Office; therefore, these law enforcement agencies may be the quickest way to acquire this information. However, many may not have online resources to find records and will likely need to be contacted directly.
Search via the Greene County Jail for Recent Arrests
The Greene County Jail is a 130-bed facility located in Xenia and is managed by the Sheriff’s Office. This facility makes for a great starting point when seeking jail records in the county. In addition to this jail, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office runs a detention center.
Due to Ohio’s Sunshine Laws, most public records–including arrest records–can be accessed by public members without providing a reason; consequently, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office makes a database of its inmates available.1
This database can be accessed for free using the Persons In Custody in Greene County Search Tool.
The tool also hosts records from other jails; therefore, users of this tool would need to select Greene County Jail. Data viewed from these results is compiled from Greene County bookings and displays information–such as the arrest date, charge description, and a picture if users are looking to find someone’s mugshot.

How To Run a Greene County Ohio Criminal Record Search
Greene County criminal records comprise a variety of data that touch on individuals’ interactions with law enforcement agencies and the courts—the main component of these records are conviction and sentencing records that arise from the offenders being charged and found guilty of a crime.
Convictions and sentences are also the core of background checks since they give an accurate insight into a person’s track record; these records are found in the courts and record repositories for criminal records held by state agencies.
Other than these records, other criminal records found within this dataset are warrants issued, which are an order for an arrest when offenders fail to appear in court or violate their parole or probation conditions. Greene County warrants may be found at the courts or sometimes at law enforcement agencies.
Parole records are also part of criminal records and are created when incarcerated individuals serve out the rest of their prison sentences in the community under supervision. Additionally, criminal records will have information on those convicted of sex crimes, and there are registries dedicated to maintaining and furnishing this information to the public, mostly through electronic means.
See Prior Charges & Criminal Convictions Through the Greene County Clerk of Court
The Greene County Clerk of Court would be the first public agency that interested parties would search for criminal records and convictions. This public channel makes it convenient to acquire criminal records using its Greene County Criminal Case Search Tool for free.
It is a robust tool that permits users to narrow their search through court records by selecting “Criminal” or “Criminal Execution” cases to find criminal records. Users can query by name or case type and supply a date range, case status and party type.
Contact the Clerk of Court to find more information on Greene County criminal records.
Criminal records may also be sought from the two municipal courts in Greene County, the Fairborn Municipal Court and the Xenia Municipal Court.7
Execute a Free Public Criminal Record Check In Greene County Ohio
The Greene County Sheriff’s provides citizens with a way to request background checks, but these records are not restricted to the county as they fan out to the state and national levels.8 This form of checks is delved into the next section.
Nevertheless, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office makes this WebCheck Criminal Background Check service available for $37.00 for a state or FBI check and $70.00 for a combined FBI and state background check. The processing procedures and fees can be found using this link.
Background checks are initiated by downloading and printing the request for a background check form, which is completed via electronic fingerprinting.9
Additional criminal history information can be accessed by residents as well. Details of warrants, probation, and other criminal sentencing is available to members of the public who know where to turn and how to request or access these records. The most convenient and reliable search methods will be described in the sections below.
How To Conduct a Greene County Ohio Warrant Search
Warrant details are considered part of Greene County public records as per section 149.43 of Ohio’s Sunshine Laws, and can be found using county and state resources. Sources of this information include the Greene County Clerk of Court and the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
The Clerk of Court is mandated to issue warrants, and this data can be found by searching the court records public index, which can be accessed electronically using the Greene County Warrant Search Tool.
Depending on the case type, warrants issued can either be criminal or civil-oriented. For example, since many warrants are criminal, the user may search for criminal case types and type of the party’s name to check if they have active or outstanding warrants.
Contacting the Greene County Clerk of the Court directly can also be used to ascertain this information.10
Patrons can also contact the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and verify any outstanding warrant records.
Search for warrant data can be expanded beyond county lines by getting in touch with the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s eWarrants. It should be stated that the online system is only accessible to law enforcement agencies; therefore to acquire information about warrants, contact the eWarrants Division.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) maintains a database of offenders who have escaped or violated their parole terms and thus have a warrant out for their arrest. They can be searched for using this ODRC Warrant Search Tool.
When using the tool, select the “Violators at Large” radio button and input the name of the person of interest. It is even possible to restrict the search to Greene County warrants or search other counties within Ohio.
How To Obtain Probation Information in Greene County Ohio
Probation is managed by the Greene County Adult Probation Department and the County Juvenile Court’s Probation Department for minors. When an offender is sentenced to probation in Ohio, it means that a prison sentence has been imposed on a convicted offender but the actual sentence is suspended, allowing the individual to remain out of jail under court-imposed conditions.12
Records pertaining to either probation or parole proceedings are not considered public records in Ohio—therefore, any information being sought on other individuals will be limited. However, the public is free to submit information on a probationer anonymously if they suspect they have violated their probation terms.
Patrons will need to contact the Greene County Adult Probation or the County Juvenile Court’s Probation Department to ascertain what information they may acquire.13
How To Perform a Greene County Background Check
Two types of background checks are carried out in Greene County: personal checks carried out by citizens and professional checks carried out by commercial companies and public agencies.
Personal checks are those carried by ordinary citizens on themselves or others, whether they are friends, family or neighbors. These types of checks are mostly name-based (level 1 checks) and do not normally require consent from the subject of the check. They are used to get some idea of the character of a person and an insight into their past.
Information from these checks should always be used responsibly and not to cause harm.
Employers, companies and public agencies will perform background checks on individuals as a prerequisite to offering employment, issue privileges such as owning a firearm or issue state licenses like those used by real estate agents or medical professionals. These checks are fingerprint-based (level 2 checks) and will always require consent before being run as per state and federal statutes.
Interested persons should begin their search at the Clerk of Court and the Sheriff’s Office when attempting to initiate a background check on someone in Greene County. Since a background check is scouring public records for criminal history, the Greene County Criminal Records Search Tool can be employed to look up someone’s criminal record for free.
The Greene County Sheriff’s Office, as was discussed earlier, does provide a background check service. This is not restricted to the county alone, but is rather either a statewide or national search, depending on the requestor’s preference.
Some city police departments also provide a service for citizens to make public records requests for criminal records. For example, the Fairborn City Police Department facilitates requests for police reports and records. These are completed by printing the public records request form.
Contact the city or the local law enforcement agency to ascertain the possibility to check public records through them.
After looking through public records in Greene County, patrons may expand their search to state and federal agencies, including the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), Ohio Department of Corrections, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)—the process of doing this is discussed in the next section.
Additionally, citizens can perform background checks from non-official channels in the form of 3rd party vendors in a legal manner. These companies charge for a service to find information on criminal history from official channels regardless of where these records are located and within state and federal guidelines and statutes. Using these companies is convenient since they perform all the back-breaking work for the requestor.
How To Access State & Federal Resources To Find Ohio Criminal Cases
Patrons have the option of expanding their search for criminal records to state and national public channels since county agencies are limited in jurisdiction—these bodies include the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). They may also be sought by scouring through the Ohio Sex Offender Registry or the Bureau of Prisons.
Acquire Criminal Records via the BCI: The Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is the public records repository for criminal records in Ohio, with records funneled into its database from the state’s courts and law enforcement agencies. Requests for background checks are completed by fingerprinting individuals at WebCheck locations.14
These prints are then transmitted to the BCI to compare them against a database of criminal records. Out-of-state residents can contact these vendors for more information about obtaining Ohio criminal records.
Records from background checks are only released to the owners of the record and authorized agencies—the BCI does not make these records available to multiple organizations. If there are any errors in the rap sheets (record of arrest and prosecution), citizens can request to challenge the contents of their criminal history.
Questions can be addressed by calling the BCI at 877.224.0043 or viewing these frequently asked questions.
Request Criminal Records by Contacting the FBI: The search for criminal history can be further broadened by obtaining national criminal data from the FBI. This agency charges $18.00 for a fingerprint-based check, which can be done electronically or by mail request. The fastest way to do these checks is online, which takes a maximum of five business days compared to two months by mail.
Find Sex Offenders via State & National Registries: The Attorney General has made the Ohio Sex Offender Registry available for the public to run a free criminal record check. This registry is accessed using the Ohio Sex Offender Search Tool and can find individuals based on their names, addresses, phone and other identifiers.
Similarly, the National Sex Offender Public Website is a searchable database of convicted sex offenders throughout the entire United States (search by name or location).
Locate Criminal Records Using the Ohio Habitual Offender Registry: This registry is a database of offenders that have received a minimum of five DUI convictions, including those related to drugs.
The Ohio Habitual Offender Search Tool shows repeat offenders of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol with more than 5 convictions of this offense; users can access the online directory at no cost.
Retrieve Criminal Records From the ODRC: The Ohio Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (ODRC) maintains a database of incarcerated individuals, but also of those under the department’s supervision or those who have been judicially released. This makes it a viable way to find offenders with criminal records but are at large—it is accessed at no cost using the Ohio Criminal Record Offender Search Tool.
Locate Federal Criminal Records via the BOP: The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) houses inmates convicted of federal crimes and has a database of offenders currently incarcerated and those released since 1982. Therefore, interested persons can find federal criminal offenders in society for free using the BOP inmate locator tool.
How To Run a Greene County Court Case Search
The Greene County Court is the primary point of contact when searching for court records in the county. This courthouse is part of the structure of the Ohio Courts System, which comprises, among others, a Supreme Court, Courts of Appeals and Courts of Common Pleas.16
Supreme Court—As the highest court in the state and the one of last resort, the Supreme Court appeals cases mostly from the twelve district Courts of Appeals. It also deals with death penalty cases and cases that involve matters pertaining to the U.S. and Ohio Constitutions.
Courts of Appeals— There are 12 appellate districts, each with its own Court of Appeals, and the function of these courts is to adjudicate appeals from the lower courts, like county and municipal courts.
Court of Claims—The primary role of the Court of Claims is to hear and decide on civil matters that citizens have filed against the state and its public agencies.
Courts of Common Pleas—These courts are the only trial courts in the state and hear all felony criminal cases. They have general jurisdiction of civil cases where the contested amount exceeds $500 but exclusive jurisdiction where the amount is greater than $15,000. They also hear domestic relations issues such as divorces and child support and have juvenile divisions that deal with cases involving minors.
County & Municipal Courts—Both courts oversee preliminary hearings on felony and civil cases where the contested amount does not exceed $15,000. They also conduct traffic and non-traffic misdemeanor cases.
Mayor’s Courts—The Mayor’s Courts are not courts of record and have mayors of municipal corporations to oversee court cases such as those of state traffic laws and local ordinances.
Judicial records are primarily viewed and obtained electronically using a Greene County Case Search Tool to find varying court records such as criminal, civil and probate cases. These Greene County judicial records can be searched by name, case type and number, allowing users to query court records using court dates, party type case status etc.
For more information on Greene County court records, contact the Clerk of Courts either by calling or making an in-person visit.
How To View Greene County Vital Records (Marriage, Divorce, Birth & Death)
When searching for vital records, interested parties should first turn to county public agencies—birth and death records may be obtained from the Greene County Public Health. In contrast, marriage records can be requested from the Probate Court. Greene County divorce records can be viewed and acquired from the Clerk of Court.
Other than county channels, interested persons can obtain vital records from state agencies such as the Ohio Department of Health.
Ohio is an open records state, which implies that public records in Greene County–including marriage, divorce, birth and death records–are accessible to anyone. However, citizens have the right to protect their vital records to safeguard their children or in the case of domestic violence victims—in scenarios like this, these records can be sealed by a court, barring the public from accessing them.
Look Up Marital Records (Marriage, Divorce & Dissolution of Marriage) via the Greene County Clerk or the Probate Court
Interested persons who are looking to find out if someone is married or ascertain whether someone has finalized a divorce can find this information from the Probate Court and the Greene County Clerk of Court, as both of these entities host Greene County public records pertaining to vital events.
This information is also available at the state level through the Ohio Department of Health.
View & Acquire Marriage Records via the Greene County Probate Court: The Probate Court issues certified copies of marriage records through three methods: electronically, in person and by mail.17 The office makes available Greene County marriage records after October 17, 1991.
The fastest and most convenient way to check if someone is married is online by requesting a Greene County marriage record.
No charge is incurred using this method, and the document is accepted for many official purposes except by the Social Security Administration (SSA), who are yet to recognize the electronic format.
A second option is to mail the request to the Probate Court by providing a written request and furnishing the information below:
- Full names of the parties of the certificate when the license was issued.
- Self-addressed envelope.
- Specify the number of certified copies needed.
- Payment of $2.00 for each certified copy needed, which is made by cashier’s check, money order and cash. Active duty and retired military are exempt but must provide proof.
Mail the request to the address below:
Greene County Probate Court

Select the “Dissolution of Marriage” or “Divorce/Legal Separation/Annul” case types and enter the names of the parties being searched for. It is also possible to search using case status or case number.
Marriage and divorce records are not in the custody of the Ohio Department of Health, but must be obtained via the Probate Court and Clerk of Court, respectively. However, the department does provide reports on marriage and divorces from 1990 to the current year.
Obtain Death & Birth Records Through Greene County Public Health
A certificate of birth or death can be requested from county resources such as the Greene County Public Health and state channels, particularly the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). Anyone can access these records.

Death and birth records that are 50 and 125 years older (respectively) are not available at the ODH under Ohio Administrative Code Section 3701-5-11 because they are transferred to the archives. Therefore, these records must be obtained from the Greene County Public Health (GCPH) if the vital event occurred within the county.
Certified birth, death and fetal death records cost $21.50 per copy, while heirloom birth certificates are charged at $25.00.

Using Greene County Public Records Responsibly & Understanding Your Rights
Ohio’s Sunshine Laws have made vast swathes of records available for public view and access, with some revealing intimate details on individuals’ lives–such as criminal or marriage records. While accessing public records in Greene County is critical to ensuring an open and transparent society, it does open the door for potential unscrupulous activity if used wrongly.
Citizens must safeguard the privacy of others and use these records responsibly.
Some federal and state statutes guide how Ohio public records should be utilized to ensure that privacy rights are upheld, particularly those revolving around law enforcement, like arrest and criminal records. One dominant state law in this respect makes Ohio a partial ban-the-box state.
Due to the passing of Ohio Revised Code Section 9.73, public employers are prohibited from placing questions in the application form that make inquiries into an applicant’s criminal history.22 However, they may do so later if the applicant proceeds to an interview or a job offer is made. This ban-the-box law is limited to the public sector, and does not apply to private employers.
Another state law that helps job applicants is ORC § 2953.32, which permits certain qualified offenders to lodge petitions to seal their criminal records. Upon a successful petition, these offenders are no longer obligated to divulge their criminal records to employers.
Some federal bodies, like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), have certain mandates; for example, prohibiting employers from retaliating against employees or that job applicants must be informed that their criminal records will have an influence on the hiring decision.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) makes it compulsory for employers to obtain permission from applicants before running background checks on their criminal history—if they don’t, employees have the right to file a complaint with the FTC.23, 24
Finding Greene County public records can make a difference in conducting official business or even finding a loved one in jail—having the proper guidance can empower citizens to quickly and efficiently track down useful information on anyone.
