Criminal-record and social-profile search option.
View RecordsWisconsin does not need to be treated as one generic people-search database; use the official record system that matches the fact you are trying to verify.
Wisconsin Court System provides public search routes for circuit and appellate court records. Wisconsin Department of Revenue RETR services separately include a search for Wisconsin property data, so court and property records should be treated as different evidence sources.
| Question | Official system | Use carefully |
|---|---|---|
| Court case | Wisconsin Court System case search | Case status/history for the matching record |
| Property transfer | Wisconsin DOR RETR property-data search | Transfer/property data in the state system |
| Vital record | State/local vital-record office | Event record; use the correct office |

Which Wisconsin system was searched.
When you checked it.
When the underlying event occurred.
Why you believe the record belongs to the person of interest.
