A criminal history record is a full account of someone's offenses across the state. Criminal history data is confidential under ORS 181A.220 and is kept by the Oregon State Police CJIS Division.

To get a criminal history check for someone in the Bend area, you must request it through the OSP CJIS Division. The fee is $33 per search under ORS 181A.245. This is a name-based search of the state repository. Results are sent by mail. There is no online access to criminal history records in Oregon.

You can begin the process using the OSP records request form. The state also accepts requests by mail at 3565 Trelstad Ave SE, Salem, OR 97317. Allow time for processing, which can take 30 days or more depending on volume.

Oregon allows eligible people to seal certain arrest and conviction records through expungement. Under ORS 137.225, you file a motion with the Deschutes County Circuit Court. The waiting period is three years for most misdemeanors and five years for most felonies from the date of judgment.

If your Bend arrest did not lead to a conviction, you may qualify for expungement sooner. Dismissed charges and arrests without prosecution are often eligible. Not all offenses can be set aside. Serious crimes are excluded. The court reviews each motion and decides on a case-by-case basis. Once a record is sealed, it will not show up in most public searches for Bend arrest records.
