Wyandot County Criminal and Civil Records

Most criminal and civil cases in Wyandot County are adjudicated in the Court of Common Pleas, which has general jurisdiction over them. However, a municipal court may handle lesser cases, such as misdemeanors, traffic/ordinance violations, and civil suits involving evictions, contract violations, and personal injury cases involving less than $15,000 in damages.

Therefore, individuals should first determine where the proceedings took place before directing written requests to the clerk of that specific court. To request record copies, identify the required document (order, decree, motion, etc.) and provide specific case details, such as names, dates, or case numbers, to help in record retrieval. The clerk often charges requesters the cost of duplication and delivery before providing the needed record.

Alternatively, the Wyandot Clerk of Courts (for the Court of Common Pleas) and the Upper Sandusky Municipal Court offer record search tools that persons can use to find and view case information online.

Additionally, individuals seeking Wyandot County arrest records may contact the arresting agency or request local background checks from the Sheriff's Office. However, the check only provides results when booking into the local facility.
