Questions about official Montgomery County criminal records belong with the office that keeps the requested file. Court documents, police reports, booking records, and Iowa criminal-history checks follow different routes. The contacts below identify the correct government starting point. This privately run site does not receive or process record requests.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve or correct records, perform an official check, accept a court filing, or process an Iowa expungement request.

Need an Official Record?

Send each request to the Montgomery County or Iowa office that created and maintains the record:

  • Court case files: Montgomery County Clerk of District Court, 105 E. Coolbaugh Street, Red Oak, IA 51566, 712-623-4986; county offices generally list weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but confirm the clerk counter before travel
  • Arrest, booking, jail, and sheriff reports: Montgomery County Sheriff/Jail, 106 W. Coolbaugh Street, Red Oak, IA 51566, 712-623-5107; posted administrative hours are weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
