There are different options to obtain a record check. You can either come in person to the Clerk of Courts or mail a request to the office. Please include your full name (maiden name also) and date of birth. The cost for a record check is $17.50. If you need certifications of any documentation, the fee is $8.50 per certification. This is either payable by money order, made out to the Clerk of Courts, or you can pay by cash. The record check is for Luzerne County only. If you want to do a statewide check on yourself, you can visit the State Police website to obtain that information.
