Questions about official Nicholas County criminal records belong with the government office that created or maintains the document. The contacts below route a sheriff report to the Nicholas County Sheriff's Office, a felony file to the Circuit Clerk, and a misdemeanor, complaint, bail, or warrant file to the Magistrate Clerk. This private website cannot retrieve, change, or certify those records.

This Is Not a Government Office. Nicholas County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot obtain criminal records, conduct official background checks, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expungement petition. Those services remain with the responsible public office.

Need an Official Record?

Use the custodian that matches the Nicholas County record:

  • Felony and Circuit Court files: use the court case lookup guidance or contact the Nicholas County Circuit Clerk, 700 Main Street, Suite 5, Summersville, WV 26651, 304-872-7810; the counter is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
  • Misdemeanors, complaints, bail, warrants, and preliminary felony records: contact the Nicholas County Magistrate Clerk, 511 Church Street, Summersville, WV 26651, 304-872-7829; county offices generally keep weekday hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but confirm the judicial counter schedule before travel.
  • Sheriff incident or arrest reports: call the Nicholas County Sheriff's Office, 449 Water Street, Suite 1, Summersville, WV 26651, 304-872-7880, and ask for the records custodian. The office does not publish a separately branded records division, records-counter schedule, request form, or fee schedule.
  • Booking and jail custody records: use the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation or contact Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, 1255 Dyer Hill Road, Sutton, WV 26601, 304-765-7904.
  • Fingerprint-linked criminal history and official checks: contact the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau. Fingerprint appointments are handled through IdentoGO, not through walk-in service at WVSP headquarters.
  • Police incident reports: request the narrative from the sheriff, Summersville Police, Richwood Police, or WVSP office whose officer created it.

County records do not share one counter. Address a request to the Nicholas County Sheriff's Office for sheriff-created reports, the Circuit Clerk for Circuit Court documents, or the Magistrate Clerk for Magistrate Court material. Call first to confirm current hours, the available delivery formats, and any copy charge.
