This Is Not a Government Office. Rockingham County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official background check, correct a file, or receive an expungement or sealing petition.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the Rockingham County record:
- Felony files and certified circuit copies: Rockingham Circuit Court Clerk, 80 Court Square, Harrisonburg, VA 22802; 540-564-3111; office hours 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Misdemeanors and felony preliminary matters: Harrisonburg/Rockingham General District Court Criminal Division, 53 Court Square, Room 132, Harrisonburg, VA 22801; 540-564-3130; office hours 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Booking, custody, and Sheriff-created arrest records: Rockingham County Sheriff's Office and Rockingham-Harrisonburg Regional Jail, 25 South Liberty Street, Harrisonburg, VA 22801; 540-564-3800; call for the appropriate records or custody channel
- Virginia criminal-history requests: Virginia Department of State Police, Civil & Applicant Records Exchange, through the notarized SP-167 process
- Police incident reports: contact the Sheriff or town, Harrisonburg, campus, or state police agency whose officer created the report
- Expungement and sealing filings: confirm the current procedure with the court that handled the case; Rockingham Circuit Court receives traditional local expungement petitions
The Sheriff's Office and regional jail share the 25 South Liberty Street location and main number. Court documents remain with the clerks at Court Square, so a jail booking request and a certified disposition request must go to different offices.
