Need an Official Record?
Use the record type to choose the proper Craven County or North Carolina custodian:
- Court files and official court checks: contact the Craven County Clerk of Superior Court, which maintains District and Superior Court records
- Your own fingerprint-supported state history: use the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Right to Review process
- Sheriff reports, fingerprints, and detention records: contact the Craven County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center
- Current county custody: use Craven Active Bookings or call the jail information line
- City police reports: ask New Bern, Havelock, or Trent Woods police when that agency created the report
- Expunction filings: submit the correct North Carolina form through the Clerk of Superior Court
