Criminal-record and social-profile search option.
View RecordsAllen County criminal case research should start with Indiana’s court search and the Allen County Clerk, not a generic statewide “criminal record” claim.
The Indiana Judicial Branch provides an Allen County court page with a public case-search route. The Allen County Clerk states that it administers the official trial-court records for cases with jurisdiction in Allen County and directs case lookups to mycase.IN.gov with Allen County selected.
| Need | Route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Find a case | Indiana MyCase - select Allen County | Public case-search starting point |
| Official court record/copy | Allen County Clerk | Clerk administers official trial-court records |
| Statewide repository background check | Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History (LCH) | Different task from a county court docket. LCH covers Indiana felony and misdemeanor arrests, not other states. It uses name, date of birth, race and gender, with Social Security number and birthplace if needed; completeness depends on county participation. Use the official page’s online LCH request link for that product. |
A court search can show a case that belongs to Allen County, but the docket should be interpreted as the court record it is. Do not convert a court result into a broader claim about a person’s complete criminal history.
If a document is not remotely available, use the clerk identified for the case and ask for the specific case number or document.
Use the spelling associated with the case.
Do not treat a same-name case from another county as local.
Confirm case number, court and dates.
Keep the case number with the request. Complete the court-record copy form linked from Allen County Clerk’s copy instructions; give the parties’ names and the document needed, and request certification if required. The Clerk lists $1 per page plus $3 per document for certification. The form can also be mailed to Central Services Division, Courthouse Room 201, 715 South Calhoun Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802, with the required payment and a self-addressed stamped envelope.
