How can I get copies of a criminal record?

Criminal files are public information and available for viewing at the address above Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. p.m. Copies are available for .50 cents a page. Certified copies are $25.00. You may also mail in a request for copies along with a signed blank check with a memo indicating, “not to exceed $x.xx”. The amount will depend on how many copies are being requested. Be sure to include your case number if mailing a request. Your request should be mailed to Superior Court of California, County of Placer, P.O. Box 619072, Roseville CA 95661.

There are forms available in the clerk’s office or online. Obtain these forms (1203.3, 1203.4, 17b), fill them out and return them to the Criminal Clerk’s office with 2 additional copies (3 if on probation). You will be given a court date 3 weeks out. To retrieve the form online:

How do I make a court date?

A defendant (with a misdemeanor charge or conviction) may get on calendar by a verbal request over the phone by them or their attorney only (a spouse or parent cannot do this for them). If a defendant has felony charges or a felony conviction, they (or their attorney) must file a formal motion to get on calendar.

I can’t make it to court. What do I do?

We cannot guarantee that any defendant will not get a bench warrant for not appearing at their scheduled court event. If the defendant is on bail, it will be forfeited.

The defendant can send in a letter to be put in his file with an explanation of why they cannot appear. The judge may grant a continuance or not. The defendant will need to call the clerk’s office after his court event to check the outcome and request a new court date if necessary.

Can I change my court date?

Any court event set by the judge at a previous court hearing cannot be changed without a formal motion.

A misdemeanor arraignment hearing may be moved closer via a Set Sheet only if: the complaint has been received and entered by the Criminal Department and there is sufficient time for notification to the DA (1 week min). See the calendar matrix for days and departments.

How do I talk to the judge about my (or my relative’s) case?

You may write a letter to the judge and send it to the Criminal Clerk’s office. It will be forwarded, along with the file, to the judge.
