The 4-Step Union County Records Pathway
1
Step 1 — Start at the Union County clerk/courthouse
For most local records (court cases, property deeds, marriage licenses), the Union County clerk's office is the first stop.
2
Step 2 — Use the Mississippi statewide systems
Criminal background, court case search, voter registration, and professional licensing are all run at the Mississippi state level — not by the county.
3
Step 3 — Federal sources for federal records
Federal court cases (PACER), federal tax liens (IRS), military records (NPRC), and immigration data (ICE) are all federal — not held by the county.
4
Step 4 — Cross-check before relying on data
Most county portals lag 24-48 hours behind the courthouse. For time-sensitive verification, call the clerk directly.
Five Things People Get Wrong About Union County Records
❌ Myth: "Union County maintains all criminal records."
✓ Truth: False. Criminal records for Union County are held by the Mississippi state repository, NOT the county. The county sheriff has only the local arrest log.
❌ Myth: "Records sealed in Union County are gone everywhere."
✓ Truth: False. Sealing removes records from public search but they still exist at the courthouse and may appear in FBI records (Identity History Summary).
❌ Myth: "Free 'instant background' sites have Union County data."
✓ Truth: False. Only the official Mississippi state repository has verified, current Union County data. Free sites often have stale data.
❌ Myth: "The Union County assessor's value is what I'll sell my home for."
✓ Truth: False. The Union County assessor's value is for property tax purposes only — usually below market value.
❌ Myth: "All county records older than 50 years are public."
✓ Truth: Partially false. Public-records rules vary by record type AND state. Court records and deeds are usually older-public; vital records remain restricted longer (often 75-125 years).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up court cases in Union County?
Union County court cases are filed with the Circuit Clerk. Search the Circuit Court Clerks March 2, 2026 Adams County Circuit Clerk Eva Givens portal: https://courts.ms.gov/trialcourts/circuitcourt/circuitclerks.pdf. For federal matters, see PACER.
Are Mississippi marriage records public?
Marriage records in Mississippi are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Mississippi?
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Mississippi record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
What's the difference between a court record and a criminal record in Mississippi?
A court record shows everything filed in a specific case — pleadings, motions, judgments. A criminal record (rap sheet) is a person-centric history from the Mississippi Department of Public Safety that aggregates arrests and dispositions across all courts in Mississippi. Court records are searched by case; criminal records by person.
