Contact Us

Official Inyo County criminal records must be requested from the agency that maintains them. The contacts below route court files to the Superior Court in Bishop or Independence, incident reports to Sheriff Records, and statewide self-review records to the California Department of Justice. This website is private and cannot accept or fulfill a government records request.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve official records, correct or remove an entry, perform an official check, or receive a California record-cleaning filing. Send the request to the responsible public office.
