This Is Not a Government Office. Page County Criminal History is a private reference resource. It cannot retrieve, certify, change, or remove a record, accept a filing, or conduct an official background check.
Need an Official Record?
Choose the custodian by record type. These are the main official routes for Page County:
- Court files and certified copies: Page County Clerk of District Court, Page County Courthouse, 112 E. Main Street, Clarinda, IA 51632. Use the Iowa Judicial Branch directory to confirm the clerk's current direct phone and hours. The county main line is 712-542-3219.
- Sheriff arrest, incident, booking, and jail records: Page County Sheriff and Jail, 323 N. 15th Street, Clarinda, IA 51632, 712-542-5193, fax 712-542-5880. Public office hours are weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Iowa criminal-history checks: Iowa Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Investigation, Records and Identification Unit. DCI accepts online, mail, fax, email, and in-person requests, but not requests by phone.
- City police reports: contact Clarinda Police or Shenandoah Police for reports written by those departments. For Essex, begin with City Hall at 412 Iowa Avenue, PO Box 428, Essex, IA 51638, 712-379-3444, and confirm which agency handled the event.
- State custody or supervision: use the Iowa Department of Corrections directory or the Fourth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services. Clarinda Correctional Facility is not the county jail.
- Expungement filings: file the current form in the Iowa court that handled the case. Page County matters route to the Clerk of District Court at the courthouse.
The sheriff's office does not publish a dedicated Page County records-request portal, records email, or fixed copy-fee schedule. A chapter 22 request may be made in person, by mail, or by fax. Call first to identify the custodian, state the exact existing record, and ask for an advance estimate when cost is a concern.
