This Is Not a Government Office. Clay County Criminal History is a private reference resource. It cannot retrieve or correct criminal records, perform official checks, accept Tennessee expunction papers, or act for any government custodian.
Need an Official Record?
Use the contact that matches the Clay County record sought:
- Court case files and expunction filings: contact the Clay County Circuit Court Clerk, P.O. Box 749, Celina, TN 38551, at 931-243-2557; the counter is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Sheriff incident, arrest, booking, and jail records: call the Clay County Sheriff at 931-243-3266 or email claycosheriff@twlakes.net; official directories conflict between 518 Boyd Street and 400 W. Lake Avenue, and verified public counter hours were not posted, so confirm both before traveling.
- Celina police reports: call the Celina Police Department at 931-243-2153; City Hall and recorder questions can be directed to 330 Dow Avenue, P.O. Box 449, Celina, TN 38551, at 931-243-2115, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Municipal court records: contact the Celina City Recorder and City Court Clerk at 931-243-2115 or cityofcelina@twlakes.net; current and older official directories show conflicting office locations, so verify before visiting.
- Tennessee criminal history and official name checks: use the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information Services Division and its TORIS/TN-FlexCheck service.
- Tennessee sex offender information: use the TBI's Tennessee Sex Offender Registry or call the registry line at 888-837-4170.
The active court-records destination is the Clay County government and court complex at 145 Cordell Hull Drive in Celina, though the Administrative Office of the Courts also lists 100 Court House Square. Call the Circuit Court Clerk at 931-243-2557 before travel. The similar 1873 courthouse at 100 Courthouse Square now serves as a cultural center and is not the ordinary records counter.
