Search Blaine County Criminal History Online

Two free online systems give access to Blaine County criminal history court records. The Oklahoma State Courts Network lets you search by party name, case number, or date. Criminal case codes include CF for felonies and CM for misdemeanors. OSCN is run by the Oklahoma Supreme Court and costs nothing. Records go back to the early 1990s for most courts.

The OSCN docket search shows all Blaine County court records filed in the district court system, including criminal cases.

Not every document image is free. Some may need a visit to the clerk's office.

On Demand Court Records is a separate system that covers Blaine County too. ODCR updates close to real time. You can search by court, party name, or case number. It offers free basic results and paid detailed access. ODCR is a private service but pulls data from the court. Check both OSCN and ODCR for a full picture of someone's Blaine County criminal history, since some cases may appear on one but not the other.

OSBI Criminal History Search for Blaine County

The OSBI CHIRP portal runs statewide criminal history searches that include Blaine County arrests. A name-based search costs $15.00. You need the person's first name, last name, and date of birth to run a search. CHIRP checks three years before and after the birth date to catch minor data entry errors. You can add a sex offender registry search for $2.00 and a violent offender search for $2.00. There is a $1.00 online fee per transaction.

Most results come back right away. Some need OSBI staff review during business hours. The OSBI database only covers Oklahoma arrests. It does not include federal cases or out-of-state arrests. If fingerprints were not taken at the time of arrest, that record will not show up. For a more precise search, submit fingerprints to OSBI at 6600 North Harvey Place, Oklahoma City, OK 73116. Fingerprint searches cost $19.00 and give better results than name-based lookups. Call (405) 848-6724 with questions.
