Clark County Public Criminal Records
Identify the right Clark County, compare Nevada and Washington court-record routes, and avoid sending a criminal case request to the wrong office.
Clark County is state-dependent; Nevada and Washington are examples, not the whole universe
Confirm the state before searching. Nevada and Washington are common Clark County examples, but they are not exhaustive. If your document points to another state, use the USAGov courts directory to reach that state or territory judiciary, then identify the county/municipal court that owns the case.
Washington Superior Court: use Odyssey to get the case number, then request the record
The Clark County Clerk access page directs users to Odyssey to search by name for a Superior Court case number. Online case location is not the same as receiving the underlying image or certified copy; copies are requested from the clerk in person or by mail/email under the published copy procedures.
Washington offers a separate written Clark County conviction search by mail
Coverage and price
The clerk publishes a $5-per-person written verification of Clark County criminal convictions dating from 1979 to present. Searches before 1979 may trigger a $30 research fee.
Mail-only route
The written conviction search is accepted only through regular mail to Clark County Clerk, Attn. Criminal Department, PO Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000.
Identifiers and return envelope
Provide last, first and middle name, date of birth or other identifiers; for a specific filing add approximate offense date and possible charge. Include the $5 fee and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

✓
Written verification
Use the $5 mail-only Clark County conviction verification only when a county conviction letter is the needed product.
-
✓
Case documents
Use the clerk copy route when you need filings, orders, or certified documents rather than only a conviction verification.

✓
Statewide check
Use current WSP WATCH when statewide Washington repository coverage is needed.
Washington copy and certification charges are separate from the conviction-search fee
For the clerk’s court documents, the current access page lists certified copies at $5 for the first page and $1 for each page after that per document; noncertified mailed or emailed copies are $0.50 per page. Electronic storage media add $5. Older/archival work can also create research charges. This is why a $5 written conviction search should not be described as the price of a certified case file.
For a statewide Washington repository check, use current WSP pricing rather than the county page’s older figure
The Washington State Patrol Criminal History page currently lists WATCH at $11 per online name search with an immediate response. Its public product is statewide repository information with statutory limits; it is not a Clark County court-file search.
Nevada uses a different Clark County court system
For Clark County, Nevada, use the Eighth Judicial District Court CourtFinder to locate district-court matters and the court records instructions when you need copies or clerk processing. Keep Nevada results separate from Washington records even when names match.
Record family matters: court case, custody/arrest, and repository history are not interchangeable
Preserve the custodian
A county court record documents a case filed in that court. Jail/custody or police records come from other agencies. A statewide repository check such as WSP WATCH has different coverage. Label the source and geographic scope in any summary.
