Questions about official De Baca County criminal records must go to the government office that created or maintains the file. The contacts below route Sheriff reports and booking questions to the county office, felony files to District Court, misdemeanor and preliminary matters to Magistrate Court, and village ordinance cases to Fort Sumner Municipal Court. This private site cannot access an agency system or act for a requester, but the verified addresses, telephone numbers, mailing details, and posted hours provide a direct starting point.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately run resource cannot retrieve a record, complete an official background check, correct or remove a record, or receive an expungement petition. Contact the government custodian directly for those services.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office tied to the specific De Baca County record:

  • Arrest, incident, booking, and warrant-related records: contact the De Baca County Sheriff's Office for records it created
  • Felony cases and certified District Court copies: contact the Tenth Judicial District Court clerk in Fort Sumner
  • Misdemeanor, DWI, traffic, and felony preliminary files: contact De Baca County Magistrate Court
  • Village ordinance and municipal traffic matters: contact Fort Sumner Municipal Court at Village Hall
  • Personal New Mexico arrest records: use the notarized subject-access process through NMDPS Law Enforcement Records Bureau
  • Expungement petitions: begin with the District Court associated with the arrest or case and use current New Mexico Courts forms
