Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Wyoming County Criminal History. Opening a page, reading its content, or submitting a query through an outside search tool constitutes agreement to them. A person who does not accept the terms must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Wyoming County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency. The website and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a court, police department, sheriff, or state office. It does not store government criminal records, retrieve official files, conduct fingerprint checks, or submit forms for visitors.

Its function is to identify the Wyoming County Sheriff, Circuit and Magistrate clerks, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and West Virginia Sex Offender Registry as distinct record sources. Some pages also connect to outside tools used at the visitor's discretion.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the website is conditioned on the following restrictions. A visitor will not:

  • Use the site in violation of federal, West Virginia, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass a person with information found here
  • Rely on site content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
  • Deploy scraping, bot, or other automated traffic against the pages
  • Interfere with normal operation or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information reached here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse may also violate criminal law. West Virginia's Sex Offender Registration Act, W. Va. Code Chapter 15, Article 12, treats registry data as a public-safety resource. It does not authorize vigilante action or retaliation against a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Wyoming County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare background checks, credit reports, or other consumer reports. Its advertising partners are not presented as providers for FCRA-regulated decisions. Information obtained here or from a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a housing applicant or renter
  • Set insurance eligibility or rates
  • Assess credit or eligibility for a regulated benefit
  • Serve any other purpose controlled by the FCRA

A legally authorized official check in West Virginia must follow the proper West Virginia State Police and IdentoGO process or use an appropriately compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Wyoming County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement statute applies to an individual matter. A licensed West Virginia attorney should address those questions.

6. No Warranties

All services and content are supplied "as is." No promise is made that:

  • Every detail will remain accurate, complete, or current
  • Access will always be uninterrupted
  • The pages will contain no error, defect, or security weakness
  • An outside search provider will return complete or correct results

Government files change as charges, orders, dismissals, corrections, and expungements are entered. Site content can lag behind those changes and is never an official statement from a Wyoming County or West Virginia office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government offices, court systems, legal resources, and outside search services that are controlled by their own operators. Wyoming County Criminal History is not responsible for a destination's content, availability, fees, privacy practices, or service terms. Visitors should review those terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Wyoming County Criminal History or its content partners. No one may reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative material from them without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for damage arising from use of the pages or reliance on information supplied here or by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims or demands caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

West Virginia law governs these terms, and disputes tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in West Virginia. The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act governs public bodies and does not convert this private site into a public-record custodian; W. Va. Code §15-2-24 separately controls release of state criminal-identification data.

12. Changes to These Terms

The terms may be revised. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
