Questions about official Worth County criminal records belong with the agency that created or maintains the record. The contacts below route court files to the clerk, local reports and booking facts to the sheriff, and state history responses to Iowa DCI. This private resource cannot retrieve, change, certify, or file a government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve or correct records, perform official checks, or receive an expungement filing. Contact the responsible government custodian.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office tied to the record type:

  • Arrest, jail, and sheriff reports: Worth County Sheriff, 1000 Central Avenue, Northwood, IA 50459; 641-324-2481; fax 641-324-2611; sheriff@worthcountyiowa.gov
  • Court case files and certified copies: Worth County Clerk of District Court, 1000 Central Avenue, Northwood, IA 50459; 641-324-6539
  • Iowa criminal-history responses: Iowa DPS Division of Criminal Investigation, Records and Identification Unit; DCI does not accept telephone requests
  • Police incident reports: ask the agency that wrote the report; Manly Police holds its narratives, while Northwood and Kensett route county-held law-enforcement records through the sheriff
  • Iowa expungement: file the applicable chapter 901C papers in the Iowa District Court case through the Worth County clerk
  • Sex offender registration questions: Worth County Sheriff at 641-324-2481 or Iowa DCI for the statewide registry

The sheriff and clerk share the Worth County government complex at 1000 Central Avenue. Dispatch and jail functions run around the clock, but that does not mean the civil or court copy counters keep 24-hour service. Call the relevant office before travel.
