NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. It is a reference for Wood County, West Virginia record sources, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no connection to a public agency. It does not store official records, file documents, retrieve case files, or conduct authorized background checks.
Its purpose is to identify the Wood County sheriff, criminal courts, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, West Virginia Sex Offender Registry, and independent tools that may assist lawful personal research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- Use the content in violation of federal, state, or local law

- Apply site content to housing, hiring, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Harassing, stalking, threatening, intimidating, or unlawfully discriminating against someone through information found here or through a linked tool is forbidden and may be criminal.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create a background check, credit report, or other consumer report.

A check required for a regulated purpose must come through an authorized West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau program or a properly FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed West Virginia attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to a particular situation.
