Why We Built This Site
California divides access by record custodian. Yolo County Sheriff's Office keeps its reports and detention records, while Yolo Superior Court holds filed charges, minutes, and dispositions. California DOJ maintains fingerprint-based state criminal history and offers personal Record Review rather than a broad public name search. CDCR handles state-prison custody, and the California Megan's Law Website publishes only registry information allowed by law. We organize official contacts, request steps, portal details, and researched fees for those distinct systems.
What You Will Find Here
- Record guides: how Yolo County court, arrest, custody, and registry channels differ
- Official check instructions: how personal fingerprint Record Review works through California DOJ
- Agency contacts: where to reach the sheriff, court clerk, and statewide custodians
- Record relief: how California dismissal, sealing, and automatic relief routes begin
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site with no connection to a California court, sheriff, police department, or state agency. Those boundaries mean:
- We cannot run an official background check or pull a criminal record for anyone
- We cannot file expungement petitions, records requests, or any other paperwork on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any criminal record, court document, or rap sheet
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific charge or case applies to you
- We cannot promise that a published phone number, fee, address, or procedure remains current
Only the issuing office, such as the sheriff, Yolo Superior Court, or California DOJ, can produce an official criminal record. Any certified document must come from its custodian.
Search Partners
Third-party providers power search boxes on some pages and control their own results, prices, and terms. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports the resource. We do not set a provider's charges or decide what its results contain.
