Official Washington County records come from the office that created or keeps them. Court files belong with the Circuit Court Clerk, while sheriff reports and local registration questions belong with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department. Both offices are in Springfield, Kentucky. The information below identifies the primary local contacts and the record categories routed to each one.

This Is Not a Government Office. Washington County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot retrieve, correct, remove, or certify a record, perform an official background check, or receive an expungement filing.

  • Sheriff-created reports and local registry questions: Washington County Sheriff’s Department, 120 E. Main St., Springfield, KY 40069; 859-336-5400; call to confirm records or registration hours
  • Springfield police reports: Springfield Police Department, One Police Drive, Springfield, KY 40069; administration 859-336-5498; non-emergency dispatch 859-336-5450
  • Statewide criminal histories: Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch through its official background-check process
  • Expungement filings: begin with the Kentucky Court of Justice certification process, then file the correct petition with the Washington County Circuit Court Clerk
  • Registry searches: use the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry; send suspected noncompliance to law enforcement

The Circuit Court Clerk is the correct Springfield counter for case dockets, judgments, and archived-file routing. The sheriff is the county contact for reports made by that department. Call before mailing payment because the research did not locate a published Washington County sheriff fee schedule or court-copy price.
