NJ Courts Criminal Records
Use the judiciary criminal-case route to identify the case, then follow its court-record request link for the filed record.
Find the case, then request its underlying document
Use the Judiciary’s Find a Case directory for public case information. To obtain a filing, use its Records Request Form CN 10200, revised September 2025. A docket result, a copy of an order and a State Police criminal-history response are different outputs.
Choose the route from the proceeding you need
Superior Court criminal case
Criminal Practice tools include PROMIS/Gavel public access. Keep the county, division and case reference with the request. Prosecutor/defense eCourts access and law-enforcement eCDR are not general public search accounts.
Municipal complaint
Use the municipal court identified on the complaint or ticket. CN 10200 includes Municipal Court routing; do not send the request to a county Superior division simply because the municipality lies in that county.
Criminal-history product
If an organization requires an NJ State Police check, follow the State Police identification and criminal-history route. The court-copy form requests judicial records; it does not order a repository history report.

Add the indictment or arrest date and any indictment, accusation, complaint or municipal number available. If known, provide sentencing date and judge.

Describe the record
Identify the judgment, disposition, order or other filing sought. Explain the approximate event/date when its formal title is unknown.

Submit through the current Judiciary request route
-
01
Complete court location and record description
Select the county/division or municipal court, then supply the available case identifiers. Check that the document request concerns that proceeding.
-
02
Use JEDS for non-Tax requests
CN 10200 directs these requests through the Judiciary Electronic Documents Submission system. Follow the Judiciary’s current submission instructions and retain the confirmation.
-
03
Check the supplied item
Compare the returned case reference, document and copy type with your request. Ask the supplying office about a missing filing or an incorrect format.
An online hit is not a complete criminal-history finding
Scope stays with the product
A court entry may show only one proceeding or stage. It does not establish that all jurisdictions, police records or restricted records were searched. Read the disposition before calling a charge a conviction, and keep a same-name match unresolved unless the available identifiers support it.
