Request a Vermont Conviction Report

Vermont Crime Information Center says a non-notarized Vermont criminal conviction report can be obtained through VCCRIS using a name and date of birth, with a $30 charge per report and an immediate result that can be printed or saved. For your own complete Vermont record, including all dispositions, or a notarized personal copy, VCIC provides a separate mail or in-person process. VCCRIS is a Vermont conviction search, not a nationwide FBI record check.

Choose the Vermont or federal path by the result you need

These are different products. The useful comparison is scope, request method and result type—not just which site is fastest.

Route Scope / custodian Request method & inputs Current fee / result Use when
VCCRIS online conviction report Vermont convictions / VCIC Online search using name and date of birth $30 per report; immediate result for print/save You need a non-notarized Vermont conviction report
Notarized personal Vermont record Your complete personal Vermont record, including all dispositions / VCIC Separate personal-record forms and identity/notary process $30 for the written personal-record request; follow VCIC instructions for identity and notarization requirements You need your complete personal Vermont record or a notarized personal copy
FBI Identity History Summary Fingerprint-based FBI history / FBI CJIS Fingerprint submission plus FBI request process $18 FBI request fee You need a national FBI personal identity-history summary rather than a Vermont-only conviction search

Prepare the inputs for the route you chose

The input set changes with the product.

  • ✓
    VCCRIS

    Have the subject name and date of birth exactly as required by the Vermont online search.

  • ✓
    Notarized personal Vermont record

    For a walk-in complete, certified or notarized personal record, bring two IDs: either two from VCIC’s Primary List or one primary plus one secondary; two secondary IDs are not accepted. For mail, complete the Personal Criminal Record Check request and Notary forms, sign before a notary and obtain the raised seal (or include a memo if your state does not provide one). Enclose a self-addressed stamped business-size envelope and a $30 cashier’s check or money order payable to the Department of Public Safety; personal/business checks are not accepted. Mail to Criminal Records Section, VCIC, 45 State Drive, Waterbury, VT 05671-1300.

  • ✓
    FBI personal review

    Prepare the FBI request, fingerprints and payment required for an Identity History Summary.

From scope choice to usable result

Do not start the request until you know whether Vermont convictions, a complete or notarized personal Vermont record, or FBI scope is required.

  1. 01
    Choose the required scope

    VCCRIS is a Vermont conviction search. A complete personal Vermont record includes all dispositions; it and an FBI national personal review are separate routes.

  2. 02
    Submit through the matching official system

    Use VCCRIS for the ordinary online Vermont conviction report; follow VCIC personal instructions for complete or notarized personal Vermont records; use the FBI process for the fingerprint-based national summary.

  3. 03
    Read the result within its scope

    Do not describe a Vermont conviction report as a nationwide criminal-history search, and do not assume a personal-review product automatically satisfies a third party’s required screening process.

Vermont conviction search is not the same as a national FBI record check
VCIC explicitly distinguishes Vermont conviction access from FBI national record-check processes. Match the record product to the requirement you were given.
