Arkansas Public Records: A Complete Research Guide

Last Updated on March 21, 2026 by Editorial Staff

Arkansas public records are government-created documents, recordings, and data maintained by governmental bodies that are accessible under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), codified at Ark. Code Ann. §§ 25-19-101 through 25-19-112. First enacted on February 14, 1967 — Valentine’s Day — the Arkansas FOIA is considered one of the strongest open-records laws in the country and covers both public records and public meetings. A “public record” is defined as any writing, recorded sound, film, tape, electronic or computer-based information, or data compilation that is required by law to be kept, or that is otherwise kept and constitutes a record of the performance or lack of performance of official functions by a government entity supported by public funds.

Residents and Arkansas citizens frequently perform an Arkansas public records search — sometimes called an Arkansas FOIA request, Arkansas open records request, or Arkansas government records request — to locate court filings, property ownership data, criminal history, business registrations, vital records, inmate information, and other government documents. Arkansas has 75 counties, and local records are distributed among county-level offices. One of the most operationally important features of the Arkansas FOIA is its three-business-day response deadline — one of the shortest in the country — and its citizen-only access requirement, which distinguishes it from the vast majority of state open records laws.

⚠️ Legal Notice

Arkansas public records law is governed by the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 25-19-101 through 25-19-112. The Arkansas FOIA applies to all governmental entities — state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, and any private entity that receives public funds and is intertwined with governmental activities. The FOIA covers both public records access (§ 25-19-105) and open meetings (§ 25-19-106). Major exemptions include: income tax records; medical, scholastic, and adoption records; historical and archaeological site files; active criminal investigations; drafts; personnel records to the extent they contain evaluation and disciplinary material; competitive bid information; and identities of undercover law enforcement officers. Negligent violation of the FOIA is a Class C misdemeanor (up to $500 fine and 30 days imprisonment). Civil enforcement is available in circuit court with attorney’s fees for substantially prevailing parties.

Important: Arkansas is one of only a small number of states that restricts FOIA access to state citizens. Non-residents of Arkansas do not have the same legal right of access under § 25-19-105. See “Who May Request” below for details and practical workarounds.

Why Arkansas FOIA Is Distinctive

Arkansas requires requesters to be Arkansas citizens — one of only a handful of states with a residency requirement — and incarcerated felons are specifically excluded. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(a)(1)(A), public records “shall be open to inspection and copying by any citizen of the State of Arkansas.” The term “citizen” has been interpreted to include corporations and, by Attorney General opinions, entities based or registered in Arkansas. Arkansas is one of only approximately seven states that limits FOIA access to residents. Incarcerated felons and persons representing incarcerated felons (except their attorneys) are explicitly excluded. Non-residents of Arkansas do not have a statutory right under the Arkansas FOIA, though many agencies will voluntarily respond to out-of-state requests. Practically, a requester who states an Arkansas mailing address or demonstrates Arkansas residency (driver’s license number is commonly requested) will generally be treated as a citizen.

Arkansas has a three-business-day response deadline — one of the strictest in the country — with no statutory extension mechanism. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(e), if public records are not immediately available, they must be provided within three business days. Arkansas allows no statutory extension of this deadline — there is no equivalent to Maryland’s 30-day extension or Massachusetts’s 20-day Supervisor extension. If a record is in active use or storage, the custodian must make it available within three working days. Agencies that cannot comply within three days must explain why, but the law does not provide an extended timeline — making Arkansas’s deadline among the shortest and most unforgiving in the country.

Arkansas FOIA enforcement is direct — through circuit court — with both criminal penalties and attorney’s fees, but no administrative enforcement body. Unlike Iowa (IPIB with civil penalties and contested case proceedings), Massachusetts (Supervisor of Records), or Maryland (Ombudsman + Compliance Board), Arkansas has no administrative enforcement agency for FOIA violations. A person denied records may appeal “immediately” to the circuit court of their residence or to Pulaski County Circuit Court (if a state agency is involved) under § 25-19-107. The court may award attorney’s fees and litigation expenses to a substantially prevailing party unless the agency’s position was substantially justified. Negligent violations are a Class C misdemeanor (§ 25-19-104). The Attorney General may bring FOIA suits in a citizen’s stead if initially denied — but this is rare. There is no FOIA ombudsman.

Arkansas broadly defines “public record” to include records of private entities that receive public funds and are intertwined with government activities. The FOIA’s coverage extends to private entities that receive public funding and perform governmental functions — consistent with the anti-circumvention principles seen in states like Iowa (§ 22.2(2)). Attorney General Opinion 2023-101 affirmed that a private entity receiving public funds and intertwined with government activities is subject to the FOIA. This means that contractors, nonprofit service providers, and other private entities performing governmental functions with public money may be subject to FOIA requests, though the application is fact-specific.

Arkansas underwent significant FOIA reform battles in 2023–2025, with efforts to constitutionalize the FOIA ultimately falling short for the 2024 ballot but targeting the 2026 ballot. In 2023, Governor Sanders sought changes to the FOIA — including a controversial special session that critics argued weakened transparency. A citizen group (Arkansas Citizens for Transparency, ACT) attempted to place a constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot to protect the FOIA from legislative amendment. Those efforts fell short of the required signatures. Supporters subsequently filed a new proposed constitutional amendment targeting the 2026 ballot. The 2025 General Assembly (94th Session) updated the law through Act 505 (SB 227), which updated open meetings provisions to include remote meetings and provided new executive session categories for cybersecurity discussions. The Attorney General publishes an updated FOIA Handbook after each regular General Assembly session; the 21st Edition (2025) incorporates all changes through the 94th General Assembly.

Arkansas’s Search ARCourts portal replaces the legacy CourtConnect system and provides case information and document links for many circuit courts — an upgrade in public access. Arkansas recently retired the legacy Public CourtConnect portal and launched Search ARCourts at arcourts.gov. The new portal covers all circuit courts (statistical information required by Administrative Order 8) and many district courts, with document access for some participating courts. This represents a meaningful improvement in public access — many records that previously required in-person courthouse visits can now be found online.

The Legal Framework

Arkansas Court Records

Arkansas has four levels of courts: the Arkansas Supreme Court (highest appellate; seven justices; exclusive jurisdiction over death penalty appeals), the Arkansas Court of Appeals (intermediate appellate), Circuit Courts (general jurisdiction trial courts; 25 circuits covering all 75 counties, handling civil, criminal, family, and probate matters), and District Courts (limited jurisdiction; 85 courts; handling misdemeanors, traffic, small claims). Under the Arkansas FOIA, court records are public records. Arkansas replaced its legacy CourtConnect system with the new Search ARCourts portal.

Search ARCourts — Free Statewide Case Search

The Arkansas Judiciary provides free public case access through Search ARCourts at arcourts.gov. The portal covers all circuit courts (all 25 circuits, all 75 counties) with at minimum statistical case information, and many courts provide fuller case information and document links. Searches can be run by party name or case number. The portal replaces the legacy Public CourtConnect (caseinfo.arcourts.gov), which has been retired. For those encountering legacy links, redirect to Search ARCourts at arcourts.gov.

Coverage note: District courts have variable participation in Search ARCourts. Some district courts report limited information or no case information online — for those courts, contact the relevant district court clerk directly. Document access varies by court; some circuit courts link to actual filings while others provide case information only.

Federal Court Records

Arkansas has two federal judicial districts. The Eastern District of Arkansas (Little Rock and Jonesboro divisions) and the Western District of Arkansas (Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Hot Springs, Texarkana, and El Dorado divisions). Federal case records are available through PACER (pacer.gov) at $0.10 per page after the quarterly free threshold.

Expungement in Arkansas

Arkansas allows expungement of qualifying criminal records under the Arkansas First Offender Act and the Adult Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Child Abuse, and Elder Abuse Act, among other statutes. Qualifying offenses expunged under the First Offender Act (completion of probation without conviction) are sealed from public court records. Arkansas Act 346 and related statutes govern expungement eligibility, waiting periods, and procedures. Expunged and sealed records generally do not appear in public court searches or state criminal history checks.

Arkansas Criminal Records

Arkansas State Police ACIC — Criminal History

The Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC), a division of the Arkansas State Police, maintains the state’s criminal history repository. Name-based criminal history checks are available through the Arkansas State Police. The check provides records of arrests, charges, and dispositions from Arkansas criminal justice agencies. Fees are charged; contact ACIC at asp.arkansas.gov or (501) 618-8000 for current fee and submission information. Fingerprint-based checks are required for many professional licensing and employment purposes.

Arkansas Sex Offender Registry

The Arkansas Sex Offender Registry, maintained by ACIC, is publicly searchable at acic.org/SOR. The registry includes photographs, addresses, and offense details for registered sex offenders. Arkansas requires registration for individuals convicted of sexually violent offenses and other qualifying offenses. The registry can be searched by name, address, county, or zip code at no cost.

Arkansas Property Records

Arkansas property records are maintained at the county level. Two county offices are relevant: the County Assessor (personal and real property assessment, ownership records, and tax rolls) and the Circuit Clerk (recorded land instruments — deeds, mortgages, and liens — in many counties). In some Arkansas counties, the County Recorder function is performed by the Circuit Clerk; in others, a separate county recorder office exists. Arkansas has 75 counties, and there is no statewide consolidated online portal for property records, though many larger counties provide free online access.

County Assessor — Ownership and Valuation

The County Assessor maintains real and personal property ownership information, assessed values, and property tax records. Most Arkansas counties provide free online property searches by owner name, address, or parcel number. The Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division (ACD) at dfa.arkansas.gov oversees assessment standards statewide. Arkansas has significant personal property tax obligations — motor vehicles, boats, and other personal property are taxed annually — making the county assessor a relevant resource for vehicle and personal property ownership research as well.

Land Instruments — County Circuit Clerk

Deeds, mortgages, liens, and other recorded land instruments are filed with the county Circuit Clerk (which performs the recorder function in most Arkansas counties). When property is transferred in Arkansas, the deed is recorded with the circuit clerk in the county where the property is located. Sale prices are generally disclosed on recorded deeds through the documentary transfer tax stamp calculation. Many Arkansas circuit clerk offices provide free online deed and land records searching, particularly in larger counties like Pulaski (Little Rock), Benton, Washington, and Sebastian.

Arkansas Business Records

The Arkansas Secretary of State’s Business and Commercial Services Division at sos.arkansas.gov maintains business entity records. The free online search covers corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited liability partnerships, and other registered entities. Entity status, registered agent, principal address, and filing history are publicly accessible. UCC financing statement filings are also maintained by the Secretary of State and publicly searchable. Arkansas requires most entities to file annual franchise tax reports; entities that fail to file may be administratively dissolved, which is visible in the public search.

Arkansas Vital Records

The Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records Division in Little Rock maintains statewide vital records. Birth records are available from February 1, 1914 to the present (a limited number of pre-1914 records were filed after 1914). Death records are available from approximately 1914. Marriage and divorce records are also maintained at the state level (marriage from 1917; divorce from 1923). Arkansas birth records less than 100 years old are not public records under Ark. Code Ann. § 20-18-305 — access is restricted to specified persons with a qualifying relationship.

Fees

• Birth certificates: $12 for the first copy; $10 for each additional copy of the same record ordered at the same time
• Death certificates: $10 per copy; $8 for each additional copy
• Marriage certificates: $10 per copy
• Divorce certificates: $10 per copy
• Online orders (ar.gov/vitalrecords): Add $5.00 non-refundable processing fee + $1.85 non-refundable identity verification fee, plus any expedited shipping fees
• Search fee: $12 retained even if no record is found (birth) or if no copy is made

How to Order

Records may be ordered online at ar.gov/vitalrecords (debit/credit card; 7–14 days processing), by phone at (866) 209-9482, by mail to Arkansas Department of Health Vital Records, Slot 44, 4815 West Markham Street, Little Rock, AR 72205 (10–14 days plus mail time), or in person at the ADH Vital Records office (walk-in; same-day service usually available by 4:00 PM Monday–Friday). Local County Health Units can also process vital records requests for all record types.

Who Can Obtain Certified Copies

Access to birth records (under 100 years old) is restricted to: the registrant (18 or older), parents named on the record, a spouse, adult children, siblings, grandparents, legal guardians, and legal representatives showing cause. Photo ID and proof of relationship may be required. Researchers needing genealogical access to records older than 100 years can request unrestricted copies.

Historical Records

The Arkansas State Archives at archives.arkansas.gov holds historical vital records, county records, and genealogical collections. Pre-statehood and early county records may be available through the Archives. FamilySearch and Ancestry.com also hold significant Arkansas genealogical collections including older birth, death, and marriage records.

Arkansas Inmate and Corrections Records

The Arkansas Department of Corrections (DOC) provides a free public inmate search at doc.arkansas.gov. The search covers individuals currently incarcerated in Arkansas state correctional facilities and individuals on parole or community supervision. Results include offense information, sentence details, current facility, and projected release date where applicable. County jail records are maintained by individual county sheriff’s offices — most Arkansas county sheriffs provide online jail roster tools.

Professional License Records

Arkansas professional licensing is spread across numerous state boards and agencies. The Arkansas Department of Labor and Licensing (labor.arkansas.gov) oversees contractors, real estate agents, and many other regulated professions. Healthcare professionals are licensed through individual boards — the Arkansas State Medical Board (armedicalboard.org), Arkansas State Board of Nursing (arsbn.org), and others. All major professional licensing boards provide free online license verification including current status and public disciplinary actions.

The Arkansas Supreme Court (arcourts.gov) maintains the official attorney roster. Attorney license status and disciplinary history are searchable through the Court’s online attorney search tool at arcourts.gov/online-services.

Charity and Nonprofit Records

Charitable organizations soliciting contributions in Arkansas must register with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office at arkansasag.gov. Registration status and annual filings for registered charitable organizations are publicly accessible. Arkansas requires registration for most organizations raising more than $10,000 annually from Arkansas donors.

For federal tax-exempt organizations (501(c)(3) and related entities), the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (apps.irs.gov/app/eos) provides free access to Form 990 returns and exemption status. ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer (projects.propublica.org/nonprofits) also provides searchable Form 990 data for Arkansas nonprofits.

How to Submit an Arkansas FOIA Request

Any Arkansas citizen — including corporations — may submit a FOIA request to any Arkansas governmental entity. Non-residents may also submit requests; while they lack the statutory right, most agencies will respond voluntarily. Requests may be submitted in person, by mail, by phone, or electronically (email). No specific form or language is required, though citing “Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq.” signals formal intent. A requester’s purpose or motive is legally irrelevant — the FOIA does not permit agencies to demand justification for requests.

Step 1 — Identify the Correct Custodian

The “custodian” is the person with administrative control of the record (§ 25-19-103). For state agencies, identify the specific agency office holding the records. For county records, identify whether you need the County Assessor, County Circuit Clerk, County Sheriff, County Health Unit, or another office. Always confirm the specific office — with 75 counties, Arkansas has hundreds of separate record-holding offices.

Step 2 — Submit the Request and Establish Residency

Describe the records sought with reasonable specificity — enough for the custodian to locate the records with reasonable effort (§ 25-19-105(a)(2)(C)). Provide your Arkansas residency information — many agencies will ask for a driver’s license number or other proof of residency. Submit the request in writing (email is acceptable and creates a useful record). Note your submission date carefully — the three-business-day clock starts on receipt.

Step 3 — Track the Three-Business-Day Deadline

Records must be provided immediately if available, or within three business days if in active use or storage. Unlike most states, Arkansas provides no statutory extension mechanism. If three business days pass without the records or a lawful denial with explanation, you likely have grounds for a FOIA violation. Document everything — date of submission, any agency communications, and date any records were (or were not) received.

Step 4 — Review Fees

Custodians may charge actual reproduction and mailing costs. If the estimated cost exceeds $25, the agency may require prepayment. Fees must be reasonable. There is no explicit per-page cap in the Arkansas FOIA, but the “actual costs” standard limits agencies from charging for overhead, staff time beyond reproduction, or other indirect costs. If you believe fees are unreasonable, that is a basis for a circuit court challenge.

Step 5 — Appeal to Circuit Court

Arkansas has no administrative FOIA appeal body. If your request is denied or records are not produced within three business days:

• Appeal immediately to the Circuit Court of your residence (or Pulaski County Circuit Court if the respondent is a state agency) under § 25-19-107.
• The court will review the denial and may order production. Arkansas courts have historically construed the FOIA broadly in favor of disclosure.
• If you substantially prevail, the court may award attorney’s fees and litigation costs unless the agency’s position was substantially justified.
• Consider contacting the Arkansas Attorney General’s FOIA Division (arkansasag.gov) for guidance or to request an advisory opinion before filing suit — AG opinions carry weight in FOIA disputes even though they are not binding.

Common Mistakes When Researching Arkansas Public Records

Submitting a FOIA request without establishing Arkansas residency. Arkansas is one of approximately seven states restricting FOIA access to state citizens. Agencies may — and often do — require proof of residency (a driver’s license number is frequently requested). Failing to provide residency information can result in a lawful denial of the request. If you lack Arkansas residency, consider whether the records you need are available through a different channel (court records through Search ARCourts, which is publicly accessible; business records through the Secretary of State’s publicly available search; property records through the county website). If you are an out-of-state requester, consult the Arkansas AG’s guidance — corporations with Arkansas operations may qualify as “citizens,” and agencies have discretion to respond voluntarily.

Missing the three-business-day enforcement window without documenting the deadline. Arkansas’s three-business-day response deadline is among the shortest in the country, but its enforcement depends on the requester proving when the request was received. Since Arkansas has no administrative appeal body, circuit court is the only enforcement option — and documentation of the receipt date is critical. Use email (which creates an automatic timestamp), request a read receipt, or submit in person and note the date. If three business days expire without records or a lawful denial, immediately consult a FOIA attorney or contact the Arkansas AG’s office.

Using legacy CourtConnect links instead of Search ARCourts. Arkansas retired the Public CourtConnect portal (caseinfo.arcourts.gov) and launched the new Search ARCourts system at arcourts.gov. Third-party sites and older guides may still link to the legacy CourtConnect URL. If a court portal link returns an error or expired session, navigate directly to arcourts.gov for the current system. The new Search ARCourts portal includes enhanced search options, better filtering, and document access for many courts.

Not checking the county health unit for vital records — which may be faster than the Little Rock office. The Arkansas Department of Health offers vital records services “in every county” through local Public Health Units. Ordering from a local county health unit is often faster than ordering from the central Little Rock office, particularly for walk-in requests. Birth and death records ordered at a county health unit may receive same-day processing at the same cost, without the $5 online processing fee or $1.85 identity verification fee. Find your local health unit through healthy.arkansas.gov.

Not reading the AG’s FOIA Handbook before filing a challenging request. The Arkansas Attorney General publishes a comprehensive FOIA Handbook (21st Edition, 2025, updated after each General Assembly session) that covers exemptions, procedures, fees, court decisions, and agency-specific guidance in detail. Many FOIA disputes in Arkansas — particularly those involving personnel records, law enforcement records, and meeting access — have been extensively litigated and analyzed in AG opinions. Reading the relevant sections of the Handbook before submitting a sensitive request can save significant time and guide the requester to frame the request most effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Arkansas public records open to anyone?

Arkansas restricts FOIA access to “any citizen of the State of Arkansas.” This is one of approximately seven states with a residency requirement. Non-residents lack a statutory right under the FOIA, though many agencies will respond voluntarily. Incarcerated felons and their non-attorney representatives are explicitly excluded. Within these limits, requesters need not state a purpose or motive — those factors are legally irrelevant.

Does Arkansas have a FOIA law?

Yes — Arkansas formally uses the name “Freedom of Information Act” for its open records and open meetings law, codified at Ark. Code Ann. §§ 25-19-101 through 25-19-112. It was enacted in 1967 and is one of the oldest and strongest FOIA-type laws in the country. It covers both public records access and open meetings in a single unified statute.

Are Arkansas criminal records public?

Arkansas criminal history records are available through the Arkansas State Police ACIC (fee-based). Court case information is free through Search ARCourts. The Sex Offender Registry (acic.org/SOR) is free and publicly searchable. Expunged and sealed records are not accessible to the public. Juvenile records are generally confidential.

Where are Arkansas property records searched?

Arkansas property research requires identifying the correct county. The County Assessor holds property ownership and valuation records; the County Circuit Clerk holds recorded land instruments (deeds, mortgages, liens). Arkansas has 75 counties; there is no statewide consolidated portal. Most major counties (Pulaski, Benton, Washington, Sebastian, Saline) provide free online access. Personal property — including motor vehicles — is also assessed by the County Assessor and is publicly searchable in most counties.

Are Arkansas arrest records public?

Arrest records that resulted in criminal charges are accessible through Search ARCourts and through the ACIC criminal history system. Active criminal investigations are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA. Expunged records are sealed from public access. Juvenile arrest records are generally confidential.

Can an Arkansas public agency charge fees for records?

Yes — custodians may charge actual reproduction costs plus mailing expenses. There is no explicit per-page cap in the statute. If the estimated cost exceeds $25, the agency may require prepayment. Fees must represent actual costs — overhead, general staff time, and other indirect costs are not proper fee components. The FOIA Handbook provides guidance on fee reasonableness, and fee disputes can be raised in circuit court.

Final Thoughts

Arkansas’s FOIA is historically one of the country’s strongest open records laws — with a three-business-day deadline (one of the shortest nationally), actual-cost-only fees, direct circuit court enforcement with attorney’s fees, and a broad definition of public records that extends to private entities performing governmental functions. The law’s major limitations are the Arkansas citizen requirement (excluding non-residents), the lack of any administrative enforcement body (no IPIB, no Supervisor of Records, no Ombudsman), and the recent political turbulence around the law in 2023–2025 that has generated ongoing reform battles and a potential 2026 constitutional amendment effort.

The launch of Search ARCourts meaningfully improves public access to court records. Vital records fees are among the lowest in the country ($10–$12/copy). The 75-county property records landscape requires county-by-county research. The AG’s FOIA Handbook — updated after each General Assembly session — remains the single most useful resource for researchers and requesters navigating Arkansas open records law.

For the most common research tasks: start court records at Search ARCourts (arcourts.gov; free, statewide); for criminal history, use ACIC through the Arkansas State Police; for property records, identify the county and search both the County Assessor and County Circuit Clerk; for vital records, contact your local county health unit (often same-day, same cost as the central ADH office); for FOIA guidance, consult the AG’s FOIA Handbook at arkansasag.gov.
