- Use the appropriate official portal or custodian for confirmation or documents.
Useful follow-up details include:

Searching Official Larimer County Criminal Sources Online
Official online resources serve different purposes. The available sources distinguish between a current-inmate lookup, court information and document requests, and law-enforcement record requests.
- Use the Larimer County Jail Inmate Search to enter a person’s name and check current jail custody.
- Use Larimer County Courts for local court resources and instructions on contacting the appropriate clerk for criminal case records.
- Submit a request through the Larimer County Sheriff's Office Records process for eligible incident reports or other sheriff’s office records.
Keep these limitations in mind:

- A court resource page or clerk contact route is not the same as a public case-search portal.
- Sheriff’s Office records and incident reports are separate from court case files.
Obtaining Larimer County Criminal Court Documents and Certified Copies
Viewing case information differs from obtaining a court document. A certified copy of a specific court document is also different from a certified criminal-history check.
| What you need | Appropriate official route |
|---|---|
| Ordinary copy of a specific criminal court document | Request it from the Clerk’s Office of the Larimer County District or County Court maintaining the case |
| Certified copy of a specific criminal court document | Request a certified copy from the appropriate court clerk and specify certification |
| Law-enforcement or incident record | Use the Larimer County Sheriff's Office Records request process |
| Statewide criminal-history check | Use the appropriate Colorado Bureau of Investigation service, which is separate from local court-document requests |
For a Larimer County court-document request:
- Identify the court or custodian maintaining the case.
- Gather the case number, party name, and specific document requested.
- Specify whether you need an ordinary copy or a certified court-document copy.
- Follow the documented court-clerk request route by phone, mail, or in person.
The Larimer County District Court Clerk’s Office is located at 201 LaPorte Ave, Suite 100, Fort Collins, CO 80521, and can be reached at 970-494-3500. Certified copies are available only for eligible public records; sealed or expunged records cannot be provided.
Larimer County Criminal Record Limitations and Verification
- Identity: A name match alone is not enough to establish that a record belongs to a particular person.
- Outcome: An arrest, charge, or case filing is not a final disposition. Review the documented court outcome rather than inferring a conviction.
- Scope: Larimer County court results are not necessarily a complete Colorado criminal-history record.
- Dates: Arrest, filing, disposition, judgment, and sentencing dates can reflect different stages of a matter.
- Access: Sealed or expunged records are not available to the public. Juvenile records and certain confidential records may also be restricted.
- Missing results: No search result does not prove that no record exists.
- Verification: Contact the responsible court or agency when official confirmation, a document copy, or a certified record is needed.
For sealing and expungement guidance, review the Colorado Judicial Branch – Seal My Case information and the Larimer County District Attorney – Sealing & Expungement page. Eligibility depends on the case type and outcome under Colorado law.
