Maryland Criminal Court Records Search: Cases & Dockets
Find Maryland Criminal Court Cases, Dockets and Public Records
To search Maryland criminal court records, use the official Maryland Judiciary Case Search & Record Portal. It provides free public access to available District Court and Circuit Court cases, including criminal charges, case numbers, hearing dates and recorded dispositions.
The Maryland Judiciary introduced its redesigned Case Search & Record Portal in March 2026. You can search by case number, party name or advanced search criteria. For certified judgments and court documents, contact the clerk of the court where the criminal case was filed.

How to Search Maryland Criminal Court Records by Name or Case Number
The current Maryland Judiciary portal provides Case Number Search, Party Name Search and Advanced Search. These options help locate an available case using the information you already know.
- Open the official Maryland Case Search & Record Portal.
-
Accept the public access agreement.
Read the information about the limitations and appropriate use of court records, then select the agreement option to continue.
-
Choose the relevant search method.
Use Case Number Search if you have the full court case identifier. Otherwise, select Party Name Search or Advanced Search.
-
Enter your search information.
Provide the case number or defendant’s name in the appropriate fields. Use additional filters offered by the current application.
-
Complete any required security verification.
Maryland uses CAPTCHA and related measures to prevent automated misuse. Follow the displayed instructions.
-
Review the matching results.
Compare names, case numbers, court locations, filing dates and available case categories.
-
Open the relevant criminal case.
Select the case to review available court events, charges and recorded dispositions.
-
Identify the filing court.
Determine whether the case belongs to District Court or Circuit Court, and note the specific county or Baltimore City location.
-
Check the final outcome for each charge.
Do not rely on the first listed allegation. Review the recorded judgment, dismissal, plea or other final action.
-
Contact the court clerk for the actual file.
For copies, historical records or questions about missing information, contact the courthouse where the case was filed.
How to search by case number
The redesigned search interface requests the entire case number for a Case Number Search. It advises that dashes can be omitted when entering a case number.
For traffic matters, the system also allows the rightmost seven digits in certain searches, omitting leading zeros.
Use the number shown on the original court document whenever possible.
How to search by a defendant’s name
Party Name Search helps when you do not have a case number.
The Judiciary’s published name-search guidance explains that searches normally match exact names. For supported partial-name searches, a percent sign (%) can be used after the beginning of a surname or first name.
A partial last-name entry such as Smith% may match names beginning with Smith. The first name is not always required for searches.
The percent sign belongs after the beginning of a word, not before it or in the middle.
Use this syntax only where the currently displayed search field supports partial matching. The redesigned portal may present different search controls.
What if several people have the same name?
A matching first and last name does not establish that the criminal case belongs to the person you are researching.
Compare the court, dates, case number and any additional legally available identifying details. For a formally verified criminal history, use the appropriate fingerprint-based background-check procedure.
Maryland District Court vs. Circuit Court Criminal Records
Maryland has two primary trial-court levels relevant to ordinary adult criminal prosecutions: District Court and Circuit Court.
Misdemeanors and Preliminary Criminal Matters
Maryland District Courts handle many misdemeanor and criminal traffic proceedings.
They also conduct initial proceedings and preliminary hearings for certain felony matters.
The District Court does not conduct jury trials. A case requiring a jury trial may proceed in Circuit Court.
District Court Information ↗Felonies and Jury Trials
Maryland Circuit Courts have jurisdiction over felony trials, jury trials and other criminal matters assigned by law.
Circuit Courts also hear qualifying appeals from District Court decisions.
For a final felony judgment or sentencing order, the Circuit Court Clerk may be the proper records custodian.
Circuit Court Information ↗Why might a criminal matter have two Maryland case numbers?
A criminal prosecution can move from District Court to Circuit Court because of a jury-trial request, felony prosecution, appeal or another jurisdictional reason.
When this happens, the case may have separate case numbers in the two courts.
The earlier District Court entry may not identify the final outcome of the Circuit Court case.
Maryland appellate criminal records
The Maryland Judiciary’s appellate courts are the Appellate Court of Maryland and the Supreme Court of Maryland.
These names replaced the former Court of Special Appeals and Court of Appeals in December 2022.
The current Case Search system includes available appellate case information. Published appellate opinions are accessible through the Judiciary’s opinions search.
Appellate case numbers beginning with ACM or SCM identify matters under the current naming system.
Maryland Appellate Opinions ↗How Far Back Do Maryland Criminal Court Records Go Online?
A common reason for a missing Maryland criminal case is that the prosecution predates electronic court indexing.
The Maryland Judiciary publishes different starting periods for District Court criminal cases and for each Circuit Court.
Maryland court search historical coverage examples
| Court | Published criminal case coverage starts | Why this matters |
|---|---|---|
| Maryland District Court | Late 1991 | Older criminal matters may require courthouse research. |
| Anne Arundel County Circuit Court | 1989 | Some older criminal cases predate electronic coverage. |
| Baltimore City Circuit Court | 1993 | The electronic record does not cover the entire history of city criminal prosecutions. |
| Baltimore County Circuit Court | June 1984 | The county has its own electronic historical coverage. |
| Montgomery County Circuit Court | 1979 | Older records may still exist separately from the online system. |
| Prince George’s County Circuit Court | 1982 | Search historical records through the local Clerk when needed. |
| Frederick County Circuit Court | March 2000 | Earlier cases may require a non-electronic search. |
| Howard County Circuit Court | May 1999 | Older criminal files may not be indexed online. |
These are the Judiciary’s published historical case-index starting dates. They do not guarantee that every case from the stated period is publicly available today.
Expungement, shielding, confidentiality and record-retention rules can still affect availability.
What if you need a Maryland criminal record from the 1980s?
Start by identifying the specific court and county. Then compare the approximate prosecution year with the published electronic coverage for that court.
If the filing predates online coverage, contact the clerk and ask about archived case indexes or files.
Do not assume a criminal case never existed merely because an online search returns nothing.
Official Historical Coverage by Maryland Court ↗How to Search Maryland Criminal Court Dockets and Hearing Dates
A criminal court docket records case activity, scheduled proceedings and orders. Maryland provides docket information through Case Search, while the District Court also publishes weekly docket reports for individual court locations.
Steps to check an upcoming criminal court date
-
Locate the criminal case.
Search by case number or party name using the Maryland Judiciary portal.
-
Review the available case activity.
Find any hearing date, court location, room or other setting information displayed.
-
Confirm which court is assigned.
Check whether the appearance belongs to District Court or Circuit Court.
-
For District Court, open the weekly docket.
Use the Judiciary’s District Court location directory and select the appropriate court’s Weekly Docket link.
-
Search the docket for the case.
The weekly PDF is organized by hearing date, time and courtroom. Review all relevant pages.
-
Compare with the official notice.
Your summons, court order and attorney’s instructions remain important.
-
Call the court if information conflicts.
The Judiciary warns that last-minute changes may occur, so verify any discrepancy with the local clerk.
When are Maryland District Court weekly dockets updated?
The Judiciary says weekly docket updates are generally posted at 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The report covers upcoming court dates according to its weekday updating schedule.
The Judiciary also warns that a docket report may not reflect a last-minute continuance or schedule change.
Can you view a Maryland court hearing transcript?
Maryland District Court records proceedings. However, a typed transcript is produced only under specified circumstances.
The court also provides a procedure for requesting recordings of eligible District Court hearings.
The District Court’s published schedule lists $15 per case for a recording and $10 for an electronic recording. Other transcript-related charges may apply.
How to Obtain Certified Maryland Criminal Court Records
Maryland Case Search shows summarized electronic case information, but the complete official criminal case file is maintained by the court.
To obtain a certified judgment or dismissal, contact the Clerk of the District Court or Circuit Court that handled the relevant case.
Step-by-step request for a certified criminal disposition
-
Find the case number.
Use Maryland Judiciary Case Search or the original court paperwork.
-
Identify the correct court and county.
Check whether the case belongs to District Court or Circuit Court.
-
Determine which document you need.
Common examples include a signed judgment, sentencing order, dismissal order or other final disposition.
-
Find the Clerk’s contact information.
Use the Maryland Judiciary’s official court directory.
-
Ask whether the record is available.
The clerk can explain the permitted procedure for inspection or copies.
-
Request certification if required.
If the document is needed for immigration, licensing or another official purpose, confirm the required certification.
-
Confirm the complete fee.
Ask about copying, certification, mailing or archived-file retrieval.
-
Submit the request.
Follow the court’s in-person, mail or other authorized document request process.
-
Review the completed document.
Confirm the court name, case number, defendant, charges and final order.
Can you request a copy without knowing the case number?
Possibly. The Judiciary explains that the court clerk may be able to locate a file using the names of the persons involved.
For an old or difficult-to-locate criminal case, supply the approximate year, filing court, defendant’s name and any other reliable reference.
Additional research fees or retrieval delays may apply.
What if you need a certified order from an expunged case?
The Maryland Judiciary advises keeping copies of documents and expungement orders before the expungement is completed.
After the record is expunged, you may no longer be able to obtain ordinary copies of the original case file.
If a criminal disposition is needed for a future legal or immigration matter, review the documentary requirements before seeking expungement.
Find Maryland Court Clerk Contacts ↗Maryland Criminal Court Records Search and Certified Copy Fees
Maryland provides free public electronic case searching, while printed documents and certified court records have separate charges.
The Circuit Court fee schedule effective September 2, 2026 establishes the following document-copy rates. The District Court’s March 2026 cost schedule lists matching ordinary copy and certification rates.

Maryland CJIS Criminal Background Checks vs. Court Case Search
Maryland’s official fingerprint-supported criminal-history repository is the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Central Repository within the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS).
This system is separate from Maryland Judiciary Case Search.
Maryland Judiciary Case Search
Shows publicly available court case information from the judiciary.
Useful for identifying a specific case and its recorded disposition.
The Judiciary expressly states that Case Search should not be used as a criminal background check.
Maryland CJIS Central Repository
Provides criminal-history information through legally authorized fingerprint-based procedures.
Access requirements vary for personal review, employment, licensing and other authorized purposes.
Not every requester is eligible to obtain another person’s criminal-history information.
How to request your own Maryland criminal-history record
- Open the official Maryland CJIS background-check page.
-
Select the individual review procedure.
The agency has separate instructions for individuals, employers and licensed agencies.
-
Arrange fingerprinting.
Maryland residents can use an authorized fingerprinting provider.
-
Bring the required identification.
The CJIS fingerprint service requires valid government-issued photo identification.
-
Confirm fees and authorization.
The cost depends on the type of criminal-history request and whether a federal check is authorized.
-
Submit through the approved process.
Follow the current fingerprint service or mail-in instructions.
-
Review the agency’s response.
If the record contains incorrect information, ask CJIS about the authorized challenge procedure.

Are Maryland Arrest Records and Jail Records the Same as Court Records?
No. A Maryland criminal court case records judicial proceedings. An arrest report or jail entry documents a law-enforcement or custody event.
These records can be maintained by different government agencies.
| Record type | Typical custodian | What it may establish |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest or incident report | Arresting police department or Sheriff’s Office | Available information concerning a reported event or arrest. |
| County detention or jail record | Local detention center or corrections agency | Custody or booking information, where public. |
| State corrections record | Maryland DPSCS corrections agencies | Information related to qualifying state custody or supervision. |
| Criminal court disposition | District or Circuit Court Clerk | Judicial outcome of a specific case or charge. |
| State criminal-history record | Maryland CJIS Central Repository | Fingerprint-supported information releasable under the relevant request process. |
Maryland sex offender registry
DPSCS maintains an official Maryland Sex Offender Registry. It provides legally public information about individuals subject to registration.
It is a specialized registry, not a complete database of Maryland criminal convictions.
Official Maryland Sex Offender Registry ↗Maryland Criminal Record Expungement and Shielding in 2026
Maryland provides several legal procedures that may limit public access to qualifying criminal records.
The most important distinction is between expungement, shielding and ordinary suppression from public online Case Search.
Expungement
Removes qualifying criminal record information from court and law-enforcement records under Maryland law.
Eligibility depends on the actual disposition, offense and statutory rules.
Shielding
Restricts public access to certain qualifying criminal records.
Law enforcement and other authorized entities may retain access.
Case Search Suppression
Keeps specified charge information out of the public online index.
Some suppressed cases may remain inspectable at the courthouse.
Maryland expungement forms and filing fees
| Process | Official form or route | Published filing fee |
|---|---|---|
| Nonconviction expungement | CC-DC-CR-072A | No fee |
| Eligible guilty-disposition expungement | CC-DC-CR-072B | $30 per case |
| Early request before automatic nonconviction expungement | CC-DC-CR-072C, where applicable | No fee |
| Second Chance Act shielding | CC-DC-CR-148 | No filing fee |
The Judiciary says qualifying cases where every charge resulted in acquittal, dismissal or nolle prosequi on or after October 1, 2021, are generally scheduled for automatic expungement after three years under the applicable rules.
The relevant timing and eligibility depend on the case’s actual disposition and any statutory exceptions.
How to begin a Maryland expungement request
-
Locate the original case.
Find the court, case number and disposition using available court records.
-
Determine the legal eligibility.
Review Maryland’s official expungement guide and current court forms.
-
Identify the correct expungement form.
The required form depends on the criminal case outcome.
-
Check whether expungement will occur automatically.
Some qualifying nonconviction records are covered by automatic expungement provisions.
-
Prepare the court filing if needed.
Maryland Guide & File can assist in preparing the relevant paperwork.
-
Submit the petition through the court.
Follow the judiciary’s filing and payment instructions.
-
Keep any court order.
Retain the official expungement order and important case documents where legally appropriate.
How to Read Maryland Criminal Charges and Court Dispositions
A Maryland criminal docket may contain several charges, each with a different procedural history or final disposition.
| Maryland court term | General meaning | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Statement of charges | A formal allegation of a criminal offense. | Whether the allegation resulted in conviction, dismissal or another disposition. |
| Initial appearance | An early criminal proceeding. | Subsequent case events and court settings. |
| Nolle prosequi | The prosecutor discontinued the charge under applicable law. | Which charges were affected. |
| Stet | Prosecution placed on an inactive docket. | Subsequent action and expungement eligibility. |
| Probation before judgment (PBJ) | A Maryland disposition with distinct legal effects from ordinary conviction. | The actual court order, offense and legal purpose. |
| Not guilty / acquitted | A not-guilty result on the specified charge. | Other charges and the final case outcome. |
| Guilty | A recorded guilty verdict or plea. | The sentence and later court orders. |
| Case closed | An administrative case status. | The individual charge dispositions rather than assuming the outcome. |
Why Maryland Criminal Court Records May Not Appear in Case Search
| Problem | Possible explanation | Recommended next step |
|---|---|---|
| No match using a defendant’s name | Name spelling, exact-match rules or search-field limitations. | Try a complete case number or permitted alternate search. |
| Dismissed case not visible | Maryland suppresses qualifying nonconviction charges online. | Ask the court about permitted courthouse inspection. |
| Stet case disappeared | Three-year online suppression or another access restriction. | Review the Judiciary’s current suppression rules. |
| Some charge numbers are missing | Individual charges may be expunged or suppressed. | Do not assume the docket was recorded incorrectly. |
| Old criminal case not found | The case predates electronic coverage or was lawfully archived. | Contact the original District or Circuit Court Clerk. |
| District Court case has no final felony outcome | The prosecution may have moved to Circuit Court. | Search the corresponding Circuit Court record. |
| Court date is absent from weekly docket | Scheduling changes, docket exclusions or delayed updates. | Confirm with the assigned court. |
| Criminal-history report differs from court record | Different reporting systems or an incomplete record update. | Obtain the final court disposition and contact the responsible agency. |
| Federal criminal case missing | Maryland Judiciary Case Search covers state courts, not federal prosecutions. | Use PACER. |
How to correct an inaccurate Maryland court record
The Judiciary directs users who believe a public Case Search entry is inaccurate to notify the court where the original case was created or filed.
For a criminal-history error in Maryland CJIS records, contact the Central Repository about the applicable review or challenge procedure.
A correction to the court file and a correction to the criminal-history repository may require separate actions.
What if you are a victim or witness?
Maryland provides procedures for protecting certain identifying information, including the address or contact details of eligible victims and witnesses.
The court uses a Restricted Information Form and other protective procedures when applicable.
Maryland Restricted Information Guidance ↗Can Maryland Criminal Court Records Be Used for Employment Background Checks?
The Maryland Judiciary states that its public Case Search should not be used for criminal background checks.
A public court index can omit legally suppressed charges, contain incomplete historical information or identify multiple people with similar names.
Maryland CJIS maintains the state’s official fingerprint-supported criminal-history system for authorized requests.
Employment, housing, credit and other regulated screening activities may also be governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and applicable state or federal law.
