Why We Built This Site
Michigan offers several public access routes, yet choosing the correct custodian can be harder than running the search. The Marquette County Sheriff keeps county booking and custody material. The 96th District Court and 25th Circuit Court clerks maintain charges, docket entries, judgments, and dispositions. Michigan State Police operates ICHAT for public state criminal-history results, while MDOC OTIS covers state custody and supervision. The Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry is another distinct system. We bring the verified contacts, portal limits, fees, and request steps together while keeping those roles clear.
What You Will Find Here
- Agency routes: contacts for the sheriff, county courts, city police departments, and statewide Michigan systems.
- Official check steps: the difference between an ICHAT name search and a fingerprint-based personal record review.
- Record guides: how to locate and read Marquette County criminal court cases.
- Record correction routes: where Michigan directs arrest, charge, court, set-aside, and Clean Slate questions.
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site with no connection to a Michigan court, sheriff, police department, or state agency. Those limits matter:
- We do not issue certified court documents, police reports, or state criminal-history records.
- We cannot perform an official background check or retrieve a file for a reader.
- We cannot submit a FOIA request, correction, or set-aside application for someone else.
- We do not give legal advice about a charge, warrant, conviction, or pending case.
- We cannot promise that a government office has not changed a fee, phone number, or procedure.
Only the sheriff, court clerk, local police agency, or Michigan State Police can issue the official record it maintains.
Search Partners
Outside providers power some search boxes. They operate their own services, decide their prices, and control their results. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may generate a referral fee that supports this resource. We do not set a partner's fee or determine what its search returns.
