Begin searching for Baltimore public records today at no cost, and learn about anyone’s past or current situation through official resources.
Under the Freedom of Information Act and Maryland’s Public Information Act (PIA), everyone has the right to access Baltimore County and Baltimore City public records. Public information includes vital records (birth, death, marriage, and divorce records) and criminal history (warrants, arrests, probation information, and prisoner details). Property records, background check reports, and other court records are also free to requesters who know how to acquire them.
If a searcher doesn’t know what records are available or which agencies host them, tracking these records down can take more time and effort. For this reason, knowing where and how to access the desired documents or information is very important.
This resource provides searchers with simple, streamlined guidance on conducting a quick and efficient public information search in Baltimore County, Maryland.
How To Perform a Free Arrest Record & Inmate Search in Baltimore
Interested parties can do arrest records and inmate or jail records searches through several government agencies, starting at the county level, then city/town, and lastly, the state level.
Baltimore County doesn’t have an online arrest record and inmate search tool available locally. Still, with the implementation of the Public Information Act (PIA) regulation, the searcher may process a records request and address and submit it to the appropriate department or visit the agency in-person.1
Baltimore City is an independent city considered to be on par with the jurisdiction of Baltimore County.
Therefore, Baltimore City has its own set of government agencies providing services to its residents. Unlike Baltimore County, the Baltimore City Police Department hosts arrest data and provides a map of where arrests occurred. The agency can also be contacted for any inquiries or visited in person.
Look Up Arrests via the Baltimore County Sheriff’s Office
The Baltimore County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for processing, recording, and serving all legal papers, including warrants issued by the Circuit Court of Baltimore County or any official state and local agencies.2
However, Baltimore County bookings are unavailable online; they don’t have an arrest records search tool. To find out if the person being checked was arrested, the searcher may contact the sheriff’s office at 410.887.3151 or visit the office in person at the address below.
To request a copy of an arrestee’s record, the searcher may create a PIA request via mail or email with the following information:
- Applicant’s name and address
- Signature of the applicant
- The delivery timeframe of the record requested
- The specific type of public record requested and a brief description of it
- Addressee information (the department and custodian of the record requested)

How To Conduct a Free Public Criminal Record Check In Baltimore
Baltimore County and Baltimore City have online daily records of criminal cases provided by the Clerk of Circuit Court and local police departments. However, most of the older records are not retained on their websites.
Older cases are still recorded though, and a free public records search can be done through designated Maryland state government websites. Some records or part of the cases might be confidential and will not be shown to the public.
To get a comprehensive criminal record of someone, interested parties may submit a request to the custodian either in-person or by mail–in Baltimore County first for a broader search, or through Baltimore City if the searcher is looking for someone within the city.
Access Criminal Cases & Charges Through the Baltimore County Clerk of Circuit Court
An online daily docket for Baltimore public records like criminal, civil, and domestic cases is available and updated every day from 4:00 – 4:30 P.M with the information for the following day.8 This docket shows the full name, case number, time, judge, and room number of the courtroom. It can also be filtered by providing the division or case type the researcher seeks.
Alternatively, Baltimore City Circuit Court also has daily dockets and case search tools available:
- Civil/Criminal/Family Docket – Lists all daily trials and hearing events held by the Baltimore City Circuit Court, showing the case name, case number, room number, floor, and start time.
- Bail Review, Felony & Misdemeanor Reception Court Dockets – Provides the court date of the Pretrial Release Services Program and Bail Hearing via video conferencing and the list of those who will go through the review showing the defendant’s name, ID number, case number, charge(s), filing type, location, and the filer.9
- Highlighted Cases – Search – Shows detailed information and trial documents of highlighted individual cases.
Baltimore County and Baltimore City lack an online search tool for older charges and criminal convictions. Fortunately, all criminal cases are submitted to the state for recording purposes where anyone may do a Baltimore County case search, which will be further explained below.
Search Prior Charges & Criminal Convictions Through the Baltimore County Police Department
The Baltimore County Police Department doesn’t have a local criminal record search tool available online, but interested parties may inquire or process a PIA request for Baltimore County criminal records and submit it via mail or email at:

The Police Department of Baltimore City doesn’t have an online criminal records search tool showing the names of offenders, but they make a crime dataset available and update it on a weekly basis.
The data can be presented on a map or table. The map can be searched by clicking a specific part on the map or providing the address through the search engine. As for the table format, the searcher can filter or style it to get the most relevant information needed.
This crime data represents the characteristics and locations of major crimes like murder, aggravated assault, shooting, robbery, and more. The data doesn’t have the offender’s name, but researchers can use it as additional information for their search.
The Baltimore City Police Department also has additional crime datasets, like the Baltimore Police Department crime map, that are very helpful to anyone who wants to learn more about the crime rate in the city.
Sexual offense is another type of crime, and the police departments of both Baltimore County and Baltimore City have a designated local law enforcement unit with which the resident and non-resident Child Sexual Offenders and other Sexually Violent Predators must register their verified current addresses every 90 days of their entire life either in-person or through mail.
To get a copy of a sex offender’s record of registration statement, the requesters may submit a written request explaining the reason why they are requesting that record to the following addresses:

How To Determine if Someone Has an Arrest Warrant in Baltimore
An arrest warrant is a written court order issued by judges and other district court commissioners that gives a law enforcement officer the right to arrest and bring the suspected person to a magistrate for trial.
Records of Baltimore County warrants are unavailable on their local website and even on the Baltimore City website. The Baltimore Police Department also discloses the policy they implement to process arrest warrants.
To find out if someone has a warrant, interested individuals may contact the Baltimore County Sheriff’s Office and the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office for inquiries and records requests.

How To Get a Background Check Done in Baltimore County Maryland
Anyone can do a background check and find Baltimore public records using the tools and resources provided in this article. Still, the depth or level of information that will be collected depends on the type of background check a researcher may do. There are two types of background checks, depending on the purpose: personal background checks and professional background checks.
Anyone can do personal background checks without needing consent from the person who will be checked. The information gathered about the person must not be used to harass and intimidate, or in any illegal acts.
On the other hand, professional background checks are more restrictive, requiring consent from the person who will be checked and other necessary documents.
These professional background checks are conducted by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services through the Criminal Justice Information System.15 They maintain the criminal history record information and the fingerprint-supported criminal identification records in Maryland.
The requirements for background checks vary based on the location of the person and the purpose of doing a professional background check on someone or oneself, which could be for employment or licensing purposes, for adoption, and application and renewal of hazardous material endorsement for commercial driver’s license, among other purposes.
The fees for a background check depend on the background check category the requester chooses, and can be paid via a check or a credit card.
How To Review Maryland Criminal Records Through State & Federal Resources
With the lack of an online search tools at the county level, searchers may want to opt for state-level inmate locators such as the Maryland Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services inmate locator (DPSCS) and VINElink to check public records.
The DPSCS helps the public locate the inmate’s housing location and provides information on short sentenced offenders. The locator can be searched by providing the inmate’s first and last name.16
Attorneys record all cases, such as criminal cases, through the Maryland Electronic Courts (MDEC) e-filing system. This portal has a Smart Search tool–the Maryland Judiciary Record Search–where anyone can view a case’s non-confidential documents.17
To look up someone’s criminal record, the searcher must enter the case’s record number or the defendant’s name with an order format of last, first, middle name, and then suffix, if applicable. The search tool also has advanced filtering options–such as the county of relevance–that help find the case faster.
If the searchers require detailed case information, they may search through the Maryland Judiciary Case Search.18 Cases can be searched via this public records repository by either person/company (where the searcher can choose the type of case like whether it is a criminal case, civil case, etc. and also the county or city), or by case number–which will require the searcher to select the county circuit court and case number.
Maryland also has a comprehensive sex offender website where searchers can find someone’s mugshot, name, address, and other information.19 Anyone in Maryland can check for registered sex offenders living or working nearby and other information the interested parties may need, such as the offender’s movements and resources helpful to prevent or get treatment for sexual abuse.
Other federal resources allow a searcher to do a free criminal record check in Maryland.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator allows individuals to find incarcerated individuals and their locations, for federal inmates who were incarcerated or released from federal prisons from 1982 until now.
The National Archives & Records Administration is where individuals can order copies of records of prisoners released before the year 1982.
Lastly, the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website is an offender locator specifically for registered sex offenders search. The database provides public information about the location of all registered sex offenders in any city/town, county, state, territory, and even tribal boundaries in the United States.

Utilizing Baltimore Public Records Responsibly & Understanding Your Rights
With the right to access to Baltimore County and Baltimore City public records, people’s information–such as personally identifiable information, criminal records, marital status, and property information–can all be viewed by anyone.
All Maryland public records collected must not be used for illegal acts, to stalk someone, or to intimidate anyone. Everyone needs to know how to use the information responsibly and protect their rights as the person being checked or as the searcher who checks this information, whether for personal or professional use.
As stated previously, doing personal background checks has limited restrictions but must not be used for illegal activities and can’t be used for professional purposes. On the other hand, professional use of public records in Baltimore County is more restrictive. It has more regulations connected to it to protect the rights of those individuals being searched.
These are some of the laws protecting the privacy and other rights of people who are being looked into for professional purposes; find them below, with a brief description of each:
Ban the Box law, Article, § 3-1501: This law ensures that everyone is given a fair opportunity to work, by making it illegal for employers (with 15 or more employees in Maryland state and ten or more employees specifically in Baltimore City) to run a criminal background check or ask applicants if they have a criminal history for the first in-person interview before they are given an offer of conditional employment.28
Applicants must be evaluated fairly on their merit. Some employers are exempted from the Ban the Box law, and those are employers who provide services, programs, and direct care to minors or vulnerable adults.
If anyone experiences a violation of this law in Baltimore City or Baltimore County, they may file a complaint online or fill out the Maryland Criminal Record Screening Complaint Form.
Article §20-602: If an employee is discriminated against at work due to various reasons such as race, origin, sex, or criminal record, the employee may file a complaint through the agency’s public portal against an employer or the organization engaged in employment discrimination, and the Intake Unit will assist them.29
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has a field office in Baltimore, Maryland, which can be visited by appointment every Monday through Friday from 8:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. If the employee wants to file a complaint through EEOC, they may provide the information needed and then the EEOC will do remediation to protect the individual.
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA): The FCRA provides several rights, making sure to advocate for accurate, fair, and private information. Those rights include the right to be told if the information in your file has been used against you, the right to know what is in your file, and that inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be corrected or deleted by the consumer correcting agency record custodian.30
Article §3-501 to §3-514: Anyone may submit a claim for fraud and other state resource abuse, such as someone conducting a professional background check on an individual without consent.31
Baltimore County public records are great resources and can be used efficiently for different purposes, especially if the researcher knows where to find them and how to use them ethically.
