Find Yuba County Criminal Records

Criminal records in Yuba County are maintained by the Superior Court and the Sheriff's Department. Yuba County is a small county in the Sacramento Valley with about 81,000 residents. Marysville is the county seat. The county sits along the Yuba and Feather rivers, directly east of Sutter County. Yuba and Sutter counties work closely on many services but have separate court systems. The Superior Court in Marysville processes all felony and misdemeanor cases for Yuba County. You can search case records online through the court's website. The sheriff operates the county jail and handles booking records. Beale Air Force Base is also located in Yuba County, which brings a military population that sometimes intersects with the civilian criminal justice system.

Yuba County Court Records Access

The Yuba County Superior Court offers online case access through its website at yuba.courts.ca.gov. The system lets you search for criminal cases by party name or case number. Results include the defendant's name, charges, case status, and scheduled court dates. You can also view the register of actions, which lists every filing and hearing in a case. The online tool covers both felony and misdemeanor cases.

Below is the California Courts find-your-court tool, which can help you locate the Yuba County Superior Court and its services.

The courthouse is at 215 Fifth Street in Marysville. The clerk's office phone number is (530) 740-1800. You can go in person during business hours to request copies of court documents. Copies cost 50 cents per page. Certified copies cost $40. A record search that runs over 10 minutes costs $15. If you have a case number, the clerk can pull files quickly. Searching by name alone takes longer, especially for common names.

Yuba County is right next to Sutter County. Marysville and Yuba City are essentially twin cities separated by the Feather River. If someone was arrested on the Sutter County side, the case goes to the Sutter County Superior Court, not Yuba. Double-check which county's court handled the case before you start searching.

Yuba County Sheriff Inmate Records

The Yuba County Sheriff's Department runs the county jail in Marysville. The jail holds people awaiting trial, serving county sentences, or waiting for transfer to state prison. The sheriff does not currently offer a public online inmate search portal like some other California counties. To check on an inmate, you need to call the sheriff's office directly. They can look up current bookings and provide custody status, charges, and bail information.

If someone was convicted in Yuba County and sent to state prison, they leave the county system. State prisoners are tracked through the CDCR's CIRIS inmate search. That statewide database includes every person in California state prison custody. Search by name or CDCR number to find facility location, admission date, and parole hearing information.

The Marysville Police Department also handles arrests within city limits. Those arrest records are held by the police department, not the sheriff. For booking records, the jail is the place to check regardless of which agency made the arrest.

Note: Active military personnel at Beale Air Force Base who commit offenses off-base may end up in the Yuba County criminal justice system. On-base offenses are typically handled by the military justice system.

California State Records for Yuba County

The California Department of Justice keeps the statewide criminal history database. It has arrest and conviction data from all 58 California counties. Yuba County residents can get their own RAP sheet by submitting fingerprints at a Live Scan location and paying $25 to the DOJ. The rolling fee charged by the operator varies. Use the DOJ Live Scan locator to find a site near Marysville or Linda.

Processing takes 48 to 72 hours when no criminal record is found. If you do have a record, a DOJ technician must review it by hand before releasing the results. That adds more time. There is no expedited option. Check your status at applicantstatus.doj.ca.gov using your ATI number and date of birth.

For sex offender information, the registry at meganslaw.ca.gov covers Yuba County. Search by name or location to see registered offenders in the area. The DOJ manages this under Penal Code Section 290.46.

Clearing Records in Yuba County

If you have a criminal record from Yuba County, California law provides ways to address it. Penal Code Section 1203.4 is the most common path. It lets you petition the court to dismiss a conviction after completing probation. You file the petition at the Yuba County Superior Court in Marysville. If the court grants it, the conviction shows as dismissed on your RAP sheet. This is not a full erasure. The record still exists, but the changed status can make a real difference when you are looking for work or housing.

For arrest records that did not lead to a conviction, Penal Code Section 851.87 lets you seal them. You do not have to prove you were innocent. Proposition 47 resentencing can turn certain nonviolent felony drug and theft convictions into misdemeanors. Proposition 64 provides relief for old marijuana offenses. All of these require a petition to the court. If you need help, legal aid services in the Sacramento Valley and Yuba-Sutter area may assist with the process at no charge for qualifying individuals.

Note: A dismissal under PC 1203.4 does not erase the arrest from your record. Only the conviction status changes.
