Questions about official Clay County criminal records belong with the office that created or keeps the requested item. This private resource cannot retrieve, change, or certify a government record. The routes below distinguish the sheriff and jail from the two court clerks, Nebraska State Patrol CID, and the local police agency that wrote an incident report.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve official files, perform government checks, correct or remove records, or accept a Nebraska set-aside petition.

Need an Official Record?

Use the custodian that matches the Clay County record:

  • County Court files: 111 W Fairfield Street, Clay Center, NE 68933; 402-762-3651, for misdemeanors, ordinance matters, and early felony proceedings
  • District Court files: the same courthouse; 402-762-3595, for bound-over felony cases
  • Sheriff arrest and incident records: 104 E Edgar Street, Clay Center, NE 68933; 402-762-3528
  • Booking and current county custody: Clay County jail at 402-762-1154
  • Nebraska RAP requests: Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division through its official online, mail, or in-person channels
  • City incident reports: the city police or government office that confirms it authored the report

The sheriff does not publish a separately named records division or request form. Call 402-762-3528 before visiting the public counter at 104 E Edgar Street. If the county custodian is unclear, the Clay County Clerk at 111 W Fairfield Street, 402-762-3463, can forward a focused public-record request to the correct department.
