Official Appling County records come from the government office that created or maintains them. The contacts below route court files to the clerk in Baxley, sheriff and jail material to the Barnes Street office, and statewide criminal histories to GBI's Georgia Crime Information Center.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately operated reference site cannot retrieve official records, conduct an official check, correct or restrict a record, or receive filings. Only the appropriate Appling County or Georgia agency can provide those services.

Need an Official Record?

Use the custodian that matches the Appling County record:

  • Court case files: follow the criminal court case guide or call the Appling County Clerk of Superior Court at 912-367-8126; the public counter is at 69 Tippins Street, Baxley, GA 31513. Check the clerk's official site for current hours before visiting.
  • Arrest, booking, jail, warrant, and local registration records: contact the Appling County Sheriff and Jail at 560 Barnes Street, Suite B, Baxley, GA 31513. Research did not verify an official phone number or published hours, so confirm both in the county or Georgia Sheriffs' Association directory.
  • Statewide criminal histories: use the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Crime Information Center. GCIC record-inspection appointments are handled at 3121 Panthersville Road, Decatur, at 404-244-2639, option 1.
  • Police and incident reports: request the record from the agency that prepared it. Baxley provides an official Open Records Request form through baxley.org; its police counter address should be rechecked because of the 2025 facility exchange.
  • Record restriction and court sealing: follow Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 process through the prosecutor, GCIC, and court as applicable.

Appling County does not use one combined records counter: the clerk handles court filings and dispositions at Tippins Street, while sheriff and jail records belong at the Barnes Street office.
