Search Blaine County Felony Cases

Use OSCN for free online searches. Pick Blaine County from the menu and type in a party name, case number, or filing date. The system shows results from the District Court including criminal, civil, and family cases. Felony filings use the CF case number prefix.

To get copies you can also submit a written request. Include the subject's name, date of birth, case number if known, and what specific records you need. Your contact information goes on the request too. Send it to the Blaine County Courthouse by mail with payment enclosed. In-person visits work just as well. The public has access to these records under the Oklahoma Open Records Act (51 O.S. § 24A.1), so you do not need to explain why you want them.

Blaine County Felony Record Costs

Standard copy fees apply for Blaine County felony records under 28 O.S. § 31. The first page is $1.00 and each page after that is $0.50. A search fee of $5.00 is charged when you do not have the case number. OSCN searches are always free. You only pay when you need the clerk to pull physical copies or run a name search.

Felony Expungement in Blaine County

Oklahoma allows certain felony records to be expunged under 22 O.S. §§ 18-19. If you were acquitted, if your case was dismissed, or if you completed a deferred sentence, you may qualify to have the record sealed. File a petition with the Blaine County District Court. There are waiting periods that depend on the offense type. The district attorney gets notice of your petition and may object.

Once expunged, a felony record will not show up on OSCN or in searches at the Court Clerk's office. The record is sealed from public view. Only certain agencies can access sealed records in very limited circumstances. If you are not sure whether you qualify, talk to a lawyer who handles expungement cases in Blaine County.

Oklahoma DOC Offender Search

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections runs an offender lookup tool that covers people in the state prison system, which can supplement felony record searches in Blaine County.

This tool is separate from OSCN but useful when you need to check if someone convicted of a felony in Blaine County is currently incarcerated.
