BRB Public Record Update

August 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

Fee to Purchase Kentucky Criminal Record to Increase Soon

The fee for a criminal record search in Kentucky will increase from $15.00 to $20.00 effective July 1, 2012. The fee increase is part of a plan to stay within the court system's budget, which received deep cuts with the passage of House Bill 269 (see www.lrc.ky.gov/record/12RS/HB269.htm).

About Criminal Record Searches: Very few Circuit or District courts will perform a name search for the public. Most courts send criminal record requesters to a statewide service provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts. Records may be requested via fax, standard mail, walk-in, online, and even a drive-thru service. The CourtNet Criminal History database contains records from all 120 counties for at least the last five years for all misdemeanor and traffic cases and for felonies dating back to 1978. The criminal record online ordering system is called AOCFastCheck.

For details on ordered and how to set-up an account, visit http://courts.ky.gov/aoc/AOCFastCheck.htm.

Note as part of this plan that courthouses will be closed statewide on August 6, September 4, and October 15, 2012; employees will be furloughed. Also, since 2008 the Judicial Branch has cut 282 employees statewide and eliminated court programs in an effort to stay within their budget.

Vermont Increases Fee for Manual Driving Records

Effective July 1, 2012, the fee for a copy of a Vermont three-year driver operating record obtained in person or by mail increased from $11.00 to $13.00. The fee for a three-year record accessed online will remain at $15.00 per record.

The fee increase is part of recent legislation (Act 128). A number of other fee increases will affect VT services driver license issuance, exams, certain CDL fees, vehicle registration, and vehicle titles.
