    Michigan State Police Criminal History Records

    Effective February 1, 2006, Michigan law regarding criminal records has changed. Now the general public may receive information on arrest records that do not have a conviction attached. You still will NOT receive information about warrants, suppressed records, federal records, or criminal records from other states.

    Anyone can search the official MSP Criminal History record database for $10.00 per search, using MasterCard or Visa. The Michigan Criminal History Record Database is updated daily with Felony and Misdemeanor Arrest, Charge & Conviction information provided by Law Enforcement, Prosecuting Attorneys and Courts throughout the State of Michigan.

    This search includes all Public Michigan Criminal History Information as allowed by Public Act 310 of 2005. This search does not include federal arrests or criminal records from other states.

    A search for criminal record information that might be in another state requires you to correspond directly with the criminal record repository of that state.
