Atlantic County Superior Court criminal matters use the Criminal Division, not a generic county-records office

The NJ Courts Criminal Division records-room directory lists Atlantic County Criminal Records Room at 4997 Unami Blvd, Mays Landing, NJ 08330, phone 609-909-8147. This is the Superior Court criminal-file route for Atlantic County.

Start with the official criminal case lookup, but treat it as limited case information

The NJ Courts Criminal Practice Division identifies Promis/Gavel public access as the public criminal case tracking lookup. It exposes limited public criminal-case information; confidential or nonpublic material is not transformed into a public record merely because a case exists.

To obtain the record, use the Judiciary Records Request Form and identify Atlantic County / Criminal Division

The NJ Judiciary Records Request Form (CN 10200) supports pickup, mail, on-site inspection, fax, or email delivery and asks for the processing county/division. For criminal matters, provide the docket/complaint number when known. If unknown, the form asks for defendant name/aliases, date of birth, and last four digits of SSN when available, plus indictment/arrest/sentencing details that can narrow the file.

  • ✓
    Court level

    Confirm Superior Court versus municipal court before submitting the request.

  • ✓
    Case identifiers

    Include docket/complaint number or defendant identifiers and case-event clues when the docket is unknown.

  • ✓
    Certification

    Select plain copy, seal, certified, or exemplified only as required by the recipient.

The form publishes basic copy charges and separate certification choices

CN 10200 lists copy fees of $0.05 per letter-size page and $0.07 per legal-size page. It also provides separate selections for seal, certified-with-seal, certified-without-seal, and exemplified copies and warns that special-copy requests carry additional fees. For non-tax requests, the form directs return through the Judiciary Electronic Documents Submission system (JEDS).

Municipal matters are a different court level

A disorderly-persons, traffic, ordinance, or other municipal matter may be in a municipal court rather than the Atlantic County Superior Court Criminal Division. Use the case information to identify the court before ordering; do not treat a Superior Court records-room search as exhaustive of all municipal matters.

A court-file request is not a statewide criminal-history repository check

Keep product scope visible

Superior Court records answer what happened in a specific court case. A repository background check is a different product maintained outside the court records room. Likewise, police reports and jail/custody records come from their own custodians.

If public access is denied or the item is missing

Use the Judiciary request disposition and the records room to learn whether the item is unavailable, confidential, sealed, or held elsewhere. A missing online entry is not enough to conclude that no criminal record exists.
