Questions about official Union County criminal records belong with the government office that maintains the requested file. Court staff, police custodians, Corrections, Union County BCI, and New Jersey State Police each control different records. The contacts below route common requests to the proper office; this private reference site cannot retrieve or change a government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately run resource cannot obtain an official criminal history, perform a background check, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expungement petition. Contact the responsible public office for those services.
