Requests for official Vilas County criminal records must go to the government office that created or maintains the file. The contacts below distinguish Sheriff reports and bookings from Circuit Court documents and statewide Crime Information Bureau records. This private reference site cannot accept a public-record request or provide a certified copy.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve, certify, change, or remove a record. It also cannot run an official check or accept a Wisconsin expungement filing.

Need an Official Record?

Use the custodian that matches the Vilas County record you need:

  • Court case files: use the Vilas County court lookup, then call the Clerk of Circuit Court at 715-479-3632 for public documents or copies
  • Sheriff incident and arrest reports: call the Records Division at 715-479-0613, 715-479-0605, or 715-479-0607, or email records@vilascountywi.gov
  • Bookings and current custody: call the Vilas County Jail information line at 715-479-0628
  • Eagle River police reports: contact Eagle River Police at 715-479-1941 rather than asking the Sheriff for a city narrative
  • Wisconsin criminal-history responses: order through the Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau and WORCS
  • Expungement filings: file qualifying Vilas Circuit Court material with the Clerk of Circuit Court
