Baker County court records can also be accessed through public terminals at the courthouse. Ask the clerk for help if you need to look up a specific case.

Baker County Record Expungement
Oregon allows some arrest and conviction records to be set aside through a process called expungement. Under ORS 137.225, eligible people can file a motion with the court to have certain records sealed. The waiting period depends on the type of offense. Most misdemeanors require three years from the judgment date. Most felonies need five years.
If your arrest in Baker County led to charges that were later dismissed, you may be eligible sooner. Not all offenses qualify. Some serious crimes cannot be expunged at all. You file the motion at the Baker County Circuit Court. The court will review your case and decide whether to grant the request. Once a record is set aside, it will no longer appear in most public searches.
