Arizona Laws on Felony Record Access

Arizona Supreme Court Rule 123 sets the rules for court record access. Under this rule, court records are presumed open to the public. You can inspect them during business hours at any court clerk office. Some details get redacted before release. Financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, and info about minor victims are removed from public copies. But most felony case data is available to anyone who asks.

The Arizona Public Records Law under Title 39 covers government records outside the courts. Sheriff and police records fall under this law. A.R.S. Section 41-1750 creates the Central State Repository at DPS. This database holds arrest and conviction data from across the state. However, DPS cannot run background checks for private employers or out-of-state requests. For those, you need to use court records directly.

If you have a Navajo County felony conviction, you may be able to seal your record. A.R.S. Section 13-911 allows sealing after you finish your sentence and wait the required time. Class 2 and 3 felonies have a 10-year wait. Class 4, 5, and 6 felonies have a 5-year wait. Some offenses like crimes against children cannot be sealed. You file the petition with the court that heard your case.

Navajo County Criminal Court System

Navajo County is part of the Arizona Fourth Judicial District. The Superior Court has jurisdiction over all felony cases in the county.

The county also has Justice Courts that handle misdemeanors. These courts deal with minor crimes and civil matters. Felonies do not go through Justice Court. If you are looking for felony records, focus on the Superior Court. Sometimes a case starts as a misdemeanor and gets charged up to a felony.
