Oregon State Police, Public Records Unit, Criminal History Record Checks
Warning: Be careful if you use a search engine to locate the Oregon criminal record check site, rather than drilling down from the most recent OSP homepage. Old versions of the page and instructions are still showing up in Google and other web browser searches. Make sure you are looking at the most recent instructions. As of today, instructions were dated February 2015.
Disclaimer: It is against state law for library staff members to engage in any conduct that might constitute the unauthorized practice of law (ORS 9.160, 9.166 and 9.21). They may not interpret statutes, cases or regulations, perform legal research, recommend or assist in the preparation of forms, or advise patrons regarding their legal rights. They may, however, assist patrons in locating materials or links that would aid in individual research.
