Union County Court and Clerk Felony Records
The Union County Clerk's Office in Liberty keeps all official records for felony cases filed in Union County. Because Union County is small, felony cases are handled by the Union County Circuit Court rather than a Superior Court. The clerk maintains all case files from the initial charge through final disposition, including court orders, motions, and the final judgment. Copy fees follow Indiana Code rates.
The Union County government site at in.gov/counties/union has links to county offices. For court-specific information and case lookup, Indiana MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase is the free statewide portal. Enter a defendant name or case number to find Union County felony case information. Most public records appear in the system without a login.
The county jail inmate lookup at public.indianajail.gov covers multiple Indiana counties including Union County, making it easier to check current jail status for someone arrested on a felony charge in Liberty or elsewhere in Union County.
Statewide Records for Union County
The Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History system at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch runs a name-based search covering all Indiana counties, including Union County. The fee is $15.70 per search. This covers felony and Class A misdemeanor arrests statewide. For a county as small as Union, this statewide search is often the most efficient way to check criminal history because all records are in one place.
For Union County felony convictions resulting in Indiana state prison sentences, search the IDOC offender locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. Free custody change notifications for someone at the Union County Jail or an IDOC facility are available through the Indiana SAVIN service. Both of these tools are free and cover Union County along with every other Indiana county.
Union County Felony Expungement
Indiana's expungement law at IC 35-38-9 lets eligible Union County residents petition the Circuit Court to seal felony records. Filing fees are waived. After the court grants expungement, the records are removed from MyCase and the ISP criminal history database. The Union County Clerk handles the expungement order and seals the applicable case files.
Waiting periods vary. Arrests with no conviction may qualify after one year. Less serious felony convictions require an eight-year wait. More serious ones require ten years plus written consent from the Union County Prosecutor. All fines, fees, and restitution must be paid before filing. Crimes that can never be expunged include murder, most sex offenses, and serious violent felonies under IC 35-38-9-8.5. For questions about whether a specific Union County record qualifies, contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac.
