This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot retrieve or correct a criminal record, conduct an official check, or accept a sealing or expungement filing. The responsible government custodian must handle each request.
Need an Official Record?
Use the following Highland County and Virginia contacts for the record involved:
- Felony cases and certified final orders: Highland Circuit Court Clerk, 165 W. Main St., P.O. Box 190, Monterey, VA 24465-0190; 540-468-2447; 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Misdemeanors and felony preliminary records: Highland General District Court Clerk, 165 W. Main St., P.O. Box 88, Monterey, VA 24465; 540-468-2445; 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Sheriff arrest and incident reports: Highland County Sheriff, 145 W. Main St., Monterey, VA 24465; 540-468-2210. Call for submission instructions and hours.
- Recent booking destination or warrant questions: call the Highland Sheriff because the county has no public roster or active-warrant list.
- Virginia repository history: use the Virginia Department of State Police Criminal Justice Information Services Division and the SP-167 or personal-review channel.
- Expungement and sealing: use current Virginia Judiciary forms and file with the court required by the governing statute.
The Sheriff does not publish a separately named records division, online request form, flat report price, or counter hours. Ask for the custodian, describe the incident and precise record, request a cost estimate, and confirm whether delivery may be electronic, by mail, or in person. County Administration can route a county-level Virginia Freedom of Information Act request at hcboard@highlandcova.org or 540-468-2347.
