Questions about official Tama County criminal records belong with the government office that keeps the file. The routes below separate court cases from sheriff reports, jail records, police incidents, Iowa DCI histories, and expungement filings. Tama County Criminal History is a private reference resource, so it cannot retrieve, correct, certify, or remove a government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately run resource cannot retrieve a criminal record, perform an official check, correct or remove a record, or accept an Iowa expungement filing.

Need an Official Record?

Choose the Tama County or Iowa custodian that matches the record:

  • Court case files and certified copies: contact the Tama County Clerk of District Court, 100 W. High Street, Toledo, IA 52342, at 641-484-3721; normal county building hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but confirm court hours before visiting
  • Arrest, booking, jail, warrant, and sheriff incident records: contact the Tama County Sheriff's Office, 100 N. Main Street, Toledo, IA 52342; Administration/Civil is 641-484-4111 and Communications/Jail is 641-484-3760
  • Iowa criminal-history checks: order through the Iowa Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Investigation; DCI accepts online, mail, fax, email, and in-person requests, but not phone requests
  • City police reports: contact the police department or other agency that responded and created the report
  • Expungement: use the current Iowa Judicial Branch form and file with the clerk in the county where the case was heard
  • Sex offender registration questions: contact the Tama County Sheriff's Office or use the official Iowa Sex Offender Registry

Use the sheriff for records created by the Sheriff's Office and the clerk for filed criminal cases. The two offices are separate custodians even though both are in Toledo. The sheriff's fax is 641-484-3254. The courthouse fax is 641-484-6403.
