Find Massachusetts Criminal Records Without Confusing CORI, Court and Police Files

Massachusetts does not operate one public website containing every arrest, police report, criminal court filing, warrant and custody record. Each record serves a different purpose and may be maintained by DCJIS, a Trial Court clerk, a police department, the Massachusetts Probation Service, a county sheriff or the Department of Correction.

This guide explains what each system contains, what it leaves out, how much a request costs, what information to prepare, how to interpret a result and how to correct, seal or expunge an eligible record. Official portals are reserved for the final live search, request or filing.

Request a live CORI report Search Trial Court cases Choose the correct record
An arrest is not a conviction. A police report or arraignment entry documents an accusation and court activity. Charges may be dismissed, reduced, continued without a finding, resolved without conviction or later sealed. Confirm identity and disposition before relying on any result.
Personal CORI

$25 per request; indigency waiver may be available.

Processing

DCJIS allows up to 10 business days.

Self-audit

Choose the Massachusetts record that answers your question

1
Your own statewide Massachusetts record

Request your personal CORI from DCJIS. This is the most direct way to review available Massachusetts arraignment information associated with your name and date of birth.

2
A filed criminal court case

Use Trial Court Case Access when you have a docket number, ticket number, citation number or enough information to identify the court and case.

3
The arrest narrative or police report

Contact the police department or Massachusetts State Police unit that created the report. The court and DCJIS do not replace the arresting agency’s source report.

4
Current prison or jail custody

Use VINELink for Massachusetts Department of Correction custody. Contact the appropriate county sheriff for a county correctional facility or local jail.

Best complete-record workflow: Obtain your CORI or locate the court docket, verify the court and docket number, request the police report only when its narrative is needed, and obtain a certified court disposition for formal use.

Choose the problem you need to solve

The sections below contain the rules and procedures rather than sending readers to unexplained resource pages.

Record comparison

CORI, court dockets, arrest reports and custody records are not interchangeable

Massachusetts criminal-record systems compared
Record Maintained by What it generally answers What it does not replace
Personal CORI Department of Criminal Justice Information Services Available Massachusetts arraignment and criminal court-history information associated with the person searched. The complete police report, every court document or a nationwide fingerprint check.
Open-access CORI DCJIS Publicly accessible CORI information under Massachusetts access rules. The broader access available to the person who is the subject or to an authorized organization.
Trial Court docket Massachusetts Trial Court clerk’s office Case events, parties, docket entries, disposition details and documents available for that case. The arresting officer’s narrative, body-camera footage or local booking file.
Arrest or incident report The arresting police department or State Police Reported facts, officer observations, incident details and other releasable agency information. The final charge, court judgment or certified disposition.
Fingerprint-supported check Authorized state and federal criminal-history systems Identity-specific records matched through fingerprints for an authorized purpose. A CORI request when an employer or agency specifically requires Massachusetts CORI.
DOC custody record Massachusetts Department of Correction and VINE service Whether a person is housed in a participating Massachusetts state correctional facility. County jail searches or criminal court history.
CORI scope: Massachusetts describes CORI as a name-and-date-of-birth search of available Massachusetts court arraignment information. It is Massachusetts-only and is not supported by fingerprints.
Your own record

How to request your personal Massachusetts CORI

Online eligibility

You need a valid Massachusetts driver’s license or Massachusetts identification card to register as an individual through iCORI.

Published fee

A personal CORI request costs $25. A qualifying person who cannot afford the fee may submit an Affidavit of Indigency.

Processing time

DCJIS states that processing may take up to 10 business days, although many reports are completed sooner.

Register as an individual Use your own legal name and valid Massachusetts driver’s license or state ID information. Do not create an organization account for a personal request.
Select the personal CORI option During registration, indicate that you want to request your own personal CORI.
Enter identity information carefully Check spelling, date of birth, suffixes and former names. Incorrect information can delay matching or produce an incomplete result.
Pay the $25 fee or submit the waiver paperwork A person requesting a fee waiver should complete the Personal Request Form and Affidavit of Indigency according to DCJIS instructions.
Save the confirmation Keep the transaction confirmation, request date and account credentials until the result is available.
Review every entry Compare the court, docket number, offense, arraignment, disposition and status with your own documents.
Correct errors before sharing the report A case shown as open after it closed or a wrong disposition should be addressed through the court and Massachusetts Probation Service.

Requesting by mail without Massachusetts identification

A person without a valid Massachusetts driver’s license or Massachusetts ID must use the paper Personal CORI Request Form. This also applies when an attorney is requesting a client’s personal CORI and the client cannot use the online identity process.

Complete every identity field legibly
Use the current Personal CORI Request Form
Complete required signature or notarization steps
Include the correct payment or indigency materials
Retain a copy of the complete packet

What an open-access Massachusetts CORI search can and cannot show

Published cost

DCJIS currently lists an open-access CORI request at $50 per request.

Access is limited

Open-access results are governed by public-access rules and may contain less information than a person receives when requesting their own record.

Name-match risk

CORI is name based. Similar names and birth dates require careful identity confirmation.

Prepare these details before an open-access request

Person’s complete legal name
Accurate date of birth
Middle name or initial
Suffix such as Jr., Sr., II or III
Former or alternate surname when known
A lawful and appropriate reason for the search
Do not treat “no record” as proof that no arrest ever occurred. Access limits, sealing, expungement, identity differences, juvenile confidentiality, another state or a case that never reached arraignment can affect the result.
Employment and housing screening: Organizations generally must use the authorized organization process, obtain the subject’s signed acknowledgment and follow Massachusetts CORI regulations rather than relying on a public open-access request.
Result decoder

How to read a Massachusetts CORI report

Common CORI information and the correct interpretation
Field or term What it generally means What to verify
Court The Trial Court department, division or location connected with the case. Use this to identify the clerk’s office holding the official case file.
Docket number The court’s unique case identifier. Enter it exactly in Trial Court Case Access and on copy requests.
Arraignment The court event at which the accused person is formally presented with a criminal charge and enters a plea. An arraignment entry is not a conviction.
Offense description The criminal charge associated with the court record. Check later docket entries for amendments, reductions or dismissed counts.
Disposition The recorded court outcome for a charge or case. Obtain the actual disposition document when the wording is unclear or formal proof is needed.
Dismissed The court ended the charge without a conviction on that count. A dismissal does not automatically erase the record; sealing may still be necessary.
Nolle prosequi The prosecutor entered that the charge would not be prosecuted further at that time. Determine whether every charge was covered.
Continued without a finding A case was continued under court-ordered conditions without an immediate guilty finding. Check whether conditions were completed and whether the case was later dismissed.
Guilty or conviction A guilty finding or conviction was entered. Review the sentence, completion date and possible sealing date.
Open The criminal-history system presently treats the case as unresolved. If the case actually ended, contact the probation office at the originating court to correct the status.
Same-name protection: Do not identify a person using only a matching name. Compare the full name, date of birth, court, docket number, offense date and other available official identifiers.
Court docket search

How to search Massachusetts criminal court cases

Massachusetts Trial Court Case Access can display party, event, docket and disposition information. Available documents and remote access depend on the court department, case type and public-access rules.

Open Massachusetts Trial Court Case Access Complete the anti-robot verification and select the public-record search option.
Select the court department Criminal cases may be filed in Boston Municipal Court, District Court or Superior Court depending on the charge and location.
Select the division and court location Use the courthouse identified on the CORI report, citation, police paperwork, notice or prior court document.
Use the docket number whenever available Massachusetts notes that most criminal cases available remotely are searched by docket number. Enter the number exactly as shown.
Try the ticket or citation number For eligible criminal or motor-vehicle matters, use the ticket or citation tab when a docket number is unknown.
Review events in chronological order Identify arraignment, pretrial conferences, motions, warrants, continuances, plea events, trial activity and disposition.
Check every charge separately A case can contain several counts with different outcomes. One dismissed count does not establish that the whole case was dismissed.
Contact the clerk for the official record The official Trial Court record includes the public case documents maintained by the clerk’s office where the case was filed.

Case-type search limitation

The Case Type tab can be used when the case number is unknown, but the beginning and ending dates cannot span more than 30 days. Choose the court and case type carefully before running the search.

Name-search limitation: Remote criminal-case access is more restricted than ordinary civil-case name searching. A person seeking a criminal case should obtain the docket number from CORI, police paperwork, the clerk’s office or the defendant’s court documents.

How to request a Massachusetts arrest or police report

An arrest report belongs to the agency that created it. For a city or town arrest, request the record from that police department’s Records Access Officer. For a Massachusetts State Police investigation, use the State Police Public Records Unit.

Information that helps the records officer locate the file

Full name of the arrested or involved person
Date of birth when lawfully appropriate
Incident or arrest date
Approximate time of the incident
Street address or location
Police department or State Police troop
Incident, arrest or report number
Specific documents or media requested
Copy-ready public-record request
Under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, I request an electronic copy of the releasable incident report, arrest report, booking information and probable-cause documents concerning [full name] for the incident occurring on or about [date] at [location]. The known report, incident or arrest number is [number]. Please identify any withheld or redacted material and provide a written cost estimate before processing if the total will exceed $[amount].

Why information may be redacted or withheld

Active investigation

Releasing investigative material may interfere with enforcement, witness interviews, evidence collection or prosecution.

Privacy and safety

Victim, witness, juvenile, medical, domestic-violence, personal-identification and safety-related information may be protected.

Other exemptions

Massachusetts public-record exemptions can protect information even when the remaining portions of a report are released.

Reduce cost and delay: Request a specific incident, narrow date range and identified document type. Ask for electronic delivery and require approval before extensive search or redaction charges are incurred.

How to find someone incarcerated in Massachusetts

State prison

Use VINELink with the full first and last name or Massachusetts Department of Correction commitment number.

County correctional facility

Contact the sheriff’s office serving the county where the person was arrested, sentenced or detained.

Local police holding

A recent arrestee may temporarily remain with a city or town police department before arraignment or transfer.

VINE limitation: Massachusetts states that only the Department of Correction participates in the Massachusetts VINE program. A county jail or local holding facility may require a separate sheriff or police inquiry.
Search the full first and last name Check spelling, suffixes, hyphenated surnames and former names.
Use the commitment number when available This is more reliable than a common name.
Verify the custody authority Determine whether the person is in state, county, local or federal custody.
Do not assume “not found” means released Intake, transfer, identity differences or a nonparticipating county facility may explain the missing result.

Warrant records

How to check a possible Massachusetts warrant safely

Massachusetts does not provide a single unrestricted public statewide warrant database for every warrant. Warrant information may appear in a court docket, but active status should be confirmed through the court, police department, sheriff or attorney.

Identify the likely court Use prior court notices, the docket number, arrest paperwork or the location of the alleged offense.
Review the docket for warrant entries Look for default, failure-to-appear, warrant, recall or related court events.
Confirm the entry directly A docket entry may not reflect the latest execution, recall or correction.
Use a safe resolution plan A person concerned about their own warrant should contact a Massachusetts criminal-defense attorney or the responsible court.
Do not confront or detain anyone. A similar name, recalled warrant or delayed update can create a dangerous mistake. Give relevant information to law enforcement.
Access history

How to see who requested your Massachusetts CORI

A CORI self-audit shows non-criminal-justice organizations that requested your CORI. Examples can include employers, schools, hospitals, housing authorities and other authorized organizations.

Free interval

You may request one self-audit without charge every 90 days.

Additional request

An additional self-audit during the same 90-day period costs $25.

Not included

Requests by law-enforcement or other criminal-justice agencies do not appear in the self-audit.

What to review in the self-audit

Name of every requesting organization
Date of each request
Whether you signed an acknowledgment
Whether the stated screening purpose was accurate
Duplicate or repeated requests
Organizations you do not recognize
Unrecognized access: If the self-audit lists a request you did not authorize, DCJIS provides a CORI Regulatory Violations Complaint Form. Save the self-audit and any employment, housing or licensing paperwork connected with the dispute.
Submit a self-audit request
Employment and housing

What organizations must do before using Massachusetts CORI

Use an authorized organization account An employer, housing provider, volunteer organization or licensing body should use the access level and screening purpose approved by DCJIS.
Obtain a signed acknowledgment The subject generally signs the appropriate CORI acknowledgment form before the organization requests the report.
Verify the subject’s identity Organizations must take reasonable steps to ensure that the person signing the acknowledgment is the person whose CORI is requested.
Review the correct report CORI access varies by organization type and purpose. An organization should not seek or use information outside its authorized level.
Follow adverse-action procedures Before taking an adverse decision based on CORI, an organization must follow applicable Massachusetts notice, copy and correction procedures.
Protect and dispose of CORI securely CORI must not be casually shared, stored or discarded. Organizations are subject to security, dissemination and retention rules.
Online-result retention: DCJIS states that organization CORI results are removed automatically from the iCORI account after six months. The result displays an “available until” date.
Background-check decisions require care. A person may dispute identity, accuracy or disposition. An arrest or dismissed charge should not automatically be described as a conviction.
Record correction

How to correct an inaccurate Massachusetts criminal record

Correct the error with the office that controls the field
Problem Correct office Evidence to prepare
Closed case is shown as open Probation office at the court where the charge originated Docket number, disposition, closure date and certified court documents.
Wrong disposition Chief Probation Officer at the originating court or CARI Unit Certified disposition, judgment, dismissal or corrected docket entry.
Case belongs to another person Court, Massachusetts Probation Service and DCJIS as directed Government ID, fingerprints when requested and identifying differences.
Police report contains a disputed fact Arresting police department Report number, exact disputed entry and supporting official records.
Private background report is wrong Consumer reporting company and official record custodian Copy of the report, dispute letter and corrected official record.
Obtain your current personal CORI Work from the actual report rather than a statement made by an employer or private website.
Mark the exact incorrect entry Identify the court, docket number, charge and disputed status or disposition.
Obtain the supporting court document Request a certified disposition or order when available.
Contact the originating court’s probation office Explain whether the problem is identity, open status, disposition or another court-data error.
Confirm the corrected information reached the statewide record Request a new CORI after sufficient processing time.
Dispute private reports separately Send the corrected official record to the background-check company and organization that used the inaccurate report.
Correction call script “My Massachusetts CORI lists case [docket number] from [court] as [incorrect status]. The court record shows [correct disposition] entered on [date]. Which probation or CARI correction process should I use, and what certified documents should I submit?”
Record sealing

When a Massachusetts criminal record may be sealed

Misdemeanor conviction

An eligible misdemeanor may generally be requested for sealing three years after the conviction or release from jail or prison, whichever occurred later.

Felony conviction

An eligible felony may generally be requested for sealing seven years after the conviction or release from jail or prison, whichever occurred later.

The waiting period can restart. A new criminal conviction or period of incarceration within the applicable three-year or seven-year period can affect eligibility.

Dismissed and nolle prosequi cases

A charge dismissed by the court without probation or ended through a nolle prosequi may be eligible for judicial sealing through the court where the case originated. These cases do not necessarily require the conviction waiting period, but the correct petition and legal standard still apply.

Get your current CORI Identify every case and docket number you want reviewed.
Separate convictions from non-convictions Convictions generally follow the Commissioner of Probation process; dismissed and nolle prosequi cases may require a court petition.
Calculate from the correct date Use the later of the conviction date or release from incarceration for eligible conviction records.
Check for later criminal activity A later conviction or imprisonment can affect the waiting-period calculation.
Complete the correct sealing form List the court, docket number and eligible offenses accurately.
Keep a copy of the submission Save the signed form, attachments and proof of delivery.
Verify the result with a new CORI Confirm that the eligible entry is treated as sealed after processing.
Sealing is not destruction. A sealed record remains maintained and may still be available for legally authorized criminal-justice or other limited purposes.

Permanent destruction

Massachusetts time-based and non-time-based expungement

Expungement is more extensive than sealing. When granted, the qualifying record is permanently destroyed and is no longer accessible through the court or Massachusetts state, county or municipal agencies.

Time-based expungement criteria

A time-based petition is limited. Massachusetts lists requirements concerning the number of records, the petitioner’s age when the offenses occurred, the waiting period and excluded offense categories.

No more than two qualifying records
Related offenses from one incident may count as one record
Qualifying offenses occurred before the petitioner’s 21st birthday
Misdemeanor waiting period is generally three years
Felony waiting period is generally seven years
All incarceration, custody and probation must be completed

Common excluded offense categories

Serious violence

Offenses resulting in death or serious bodily injury, intending such harm or involving certain felony violations are excluded.

Weapons and firearms

Offenses committed while armed or carrying a dangerous weapon and specified firearms violations are excluded.

Protected victims

Offenses against elderly or disabled persons and assault or assault and battery on a household member are excluded.

Sex offenses

Sex offenses, child-related sex offenses and sexually violent offenses are excluded.

OUI

Operating under the influence of liquor or drugs is excluded from time-based expungement.

Protective-order violations

Violations of restraining orders or harassment-prevention orders are excluded.

Non-time-based expungement

A record may qualify without the ordinary time-based criteria when it resulted from one of the specifically recognized errors, identity problems or legal changes.

False use of the petitioner’s identification
Unauthorized use or theft of identity
Law-enforcement error
Court employee error
Civilian or expert witness error
Fraud perpetrated upon the court
Conduct that is no longer a criminal offense
Qualifying former marijuana offense

Where to file

Time-based petition

Mail the Petition to Expunge to the Office of the Commissioner of Probation, 1 Ashburton Place, Room 405, Boston, MA 02108. Massachusetts states that the process is free.

Non-time-based petition

File the petition with the clerk’s office in the court where the case was heard and provide a copy to the District Attorney’s Office that prosecuted the case on or before the filing date.

Copy everything before expungement. After the record is destroyed, the court cannot provide another copy. Save the petition, supporting records and case documents before the judge enters an expungement order.
Hearing rules: For a time-based request, the District Attorney may respond. An objection results in a hearing; without an objection, a hearing may be held at the court’s discretion. For a non-time-based request, the petitioner may request a hearing and must establish the qualifying reason and interests-of-justice standard.

Troubleshooting

Why a Massachusetts arrest or criminal record may not appear

The arrest is extremely recent The person may not have been arraigned, transferred, booked into a participating facility or entered into the court system.
You searched the wrong record system CORI, Trial Court Case Access, a local police report and VINELink answer different questions.
The court requires a docket number Most remotely accessible criminal matters are easier or only possible to locate with the exact docket number.
The name is recorded differently Try a former surname, alternate spelling, compound name, hyphenated version, suffix or legal first name.
The case is sealed or expunged A sealed case is restricted from ordinary access; an expunged record has been destroyed.
The matter is juvenile or confidential Juvenile and other protected matters are not handled like ordinary public adult criminal cases.
The arrest occurred outside Massachusetts A standard Massachusetts CORI does not provide a nationwide criminal history.
No arraignment occurred Because CORI focuses on available Massachusetts arraignment information, an arrest that never resulted in arraignment may not appear as expected.
Useful court call script “I am trying to locate a Massachusetts criminal case involving [full legal name], date of birth [date], from approximately [date] in [city or town]. The arresting agency was believed to be [agency]. Can you confirm whether your court has a docket number or tell me which court division received the case?”
Safe-use checklist

Before using a Massachusetts criminal record

Confirm at least two independent identity details
Distinguish arrest, arraignment and conviction
Review every charge and disposition separately
Check whether the case was sealed or corrected
Obtain a certified disposition for formal use
Do not use private mugshot pages as the sole source
Follow CORI rules for employment or housing
Avoid publishing protected personal information
Fair-description rule: Write “arrested,” “charged” or “arraigned” only when the record supports that description. Use “convicted” only when a guilty disposition has been verified.

Frequently asked questions

Massachusetts arrest and criminal-record questions

How do I search Massachusetts arrest records?

Use CORI for available Massachusetts arraignment history, Trial Court Case Access for a filed court case, the arresting police department for the source arrest report and VINELink for Massachusetts Department of Correction custody.

How much is my personal Massachusetts CORI?

DCJIS currently lists the personal CORI fee as $25 per request. A qualifying person may submit an Affidavit of Indigency with the required request paperwork.

How long will my CORI request take?

DCJIS states that a request may take up to 10 business days, although many results are completed sooner.

Can I search a criminal court case by name?

Remote criminal-case access is limited. Massachusetts states that most criminal cases available online are searched by exact docket number. Ticket, citation and case-type searches may also be available.

How can I find a person in a Massachusetts state prison?

Use VINELink with the full first and last name or Massachusetts DOC commitment number, or call 866-277-7477. County correctional facilities may require a separate sheriff search.

Can I find out who checked my CORI?

Yes. Request a self-audit from DCJIS. One self-audit is free every 90 days; an additional request during that period costs $25. Criminal-justice agency inquiries are not included.

When can I seal a Massachusetts conviction?

An eligible misdemeanor may generally be requested for sealing after three years, while an eligible felony generally requires seven years. The period is calculated from the conviction or release from incarceration, whichever occurred later, and later criminal activity can affect eligibility.

What is the difference between sealing and expungement?

Sealing restricts ordinary access while the record remains maintained. Expungement permanently destroys an eligible record so that it is no longer accessible through the court or Massachusetts government agencies.

How do I correct a wrong disposition on my CORI?

Contact the Chief Probation Officer or probation office at the court that handled the charge. Prepare the docket number and certified document showing the correct disposition.

Does CORI include criminal records from other states?

No. Standard CORI is a Massachusetts name-based record check and is not fingerprint supported. An authorized fingerprint-supported check may include qualifying information from Massachusetts and other jurisdictions.

Accuracy and legal-use notice

County Arrest Records is an independent informational guide and is not the Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services, Massachusetts Trial Court, Massachusetts Probation Service, Department of Correction, State Police or a law firm.

Criminal records can change after disposition corrections, sealing, expungement, appeals and later court orders. Confirm identity with multiple official identifiers and obtain a current certified record before making an employment, housing, licensing, legal, financial or publication decision.

An arrest, arraignment or charge is not proof of guilt. This page provides general procedural information and is not legal advice.
