Union County Criminal Court Records
Choose the correct Union County court jurisdiction, distinguish North Carolina and New Jersey routes, and request the actual criminal court document.
Use the state on the case paperwork to choose a Union court
Union County, North Carolina
The county Judicial Branch page links to Portal for searches by name, citation number, county and other criteria, plus criminal calendars. The Clerk of Superior Court contact is 704-698-3100 for local record inquiries.
Union County, New Jersey
For an underlying judicial document, the Judiciary Records Request Form CN 10200 includes county/division and Municipal Court routing. Identify the court that handled the matter; a municipal complaint does not become a Superior Court file merely because it arose in Union County.
These are two distinct Union County routes, not a nationwide search of every county with this name. Retain the state with the case number when saving results or writing to a clerk.
Decide what you need before submitting a record request
| Your purpose | North Carolina route | New Jersey route |
|---|---|---|
| See case information or a scheduled event | Use Portal or the county criminal calendar, keeping the county filter and case reference. | Use the relevant Judiciary public case service for the court handling the proceeding; preserve its case or complaint reference. |
| Obtain an underlying filing | The court-record instructions direct paper-file access to the clerk in the county where the case is located. Copies may carry a fee. | Describe the filing on CN 10200, choose its court destination and use JEDS for non-Tax-Court requests. |
| Supply an authenticated document | Ask the local clerk about the required copy and charge. A displayed case result is a different output. | The form offers seal, certified and exemplified options; establish which the recipient requires. |
| Perform a background check | The Judicial Branch directs background-check users to the county clerk rather than Portal. | A request for one judicial document is not an order for a State Police criminal-history product. |
Make a New Jersey request usable without a docket number

✓
Identify the defendant
CN 10200 has Criminal / Municipal fields for the name, aliases and date of birth. Supply the identifiers you know rather than attaching an unverified same-name case.
-
✓
Add event or number clues
The current form includes indictment/arrest date, indictment/accusation/complaint/municipal number, sentencing date and sentencing judge. Use any relevant known entries.
-
✓
Name the document and format
State whether you need the judgment, disposition, order or another filing. Choose ordinary or special-copy treatment and retain the JEDS submission confirmation for follow-up.
Read the outcome within the matched proceeding
A calendar entry is not the outcome
A scheduled hearing shows an event in a case. An accusation describes a charge. To establish the recorded result, obtain and read the relevant disposition or judgment for that same case; do not infer a conviction from either of the earlier records.
