Questions about official Gaston County criminal records usually belong with the agency that created or keeps the file. The contacts below route court cases to the Clerk of Superior Court, Sheriff booking and registration material to the Sheriff's Office, fingerprint history to SBI, and police reports to the investigating agency.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately run reference resource cannot retrieve criminal records, perform official checks, correct or remove records, or receive North Carolina expunction filings. Contact the government custodian directly.
