How to Obtain a Criminal Record for Yourself in Oregon
Reasons for obtaining your criminal record can vary significantly. You may want to check the accuracy of your record, you may be seeking clemency or expungement of your record, or your employer may be requesting proof that your criminal history is clear. Whatever the reason, Oregon state law provides both public and private access to criminal records. Further, you can check your federal criminal history record through an FBI National Record Check.
