Are you curious if the person you met recently has ever been married? Are you worried that they might be lying to you if they actually are married right now, or even if their divorce has actually gone through? Well, provided you are willing to pay a small fee to the Alabama Department of Public Health, then you can find out this information at any time and for any reason.

If you’re searching for the birth certificates or the death records of your relatives, then you are in luck: in Alabama, these types of records are known as what are called Vital Records, and provided you are related to the person named on them, then accessing them and obtaining a copy of them is an easy and straightforward affair. Even if you are not related to the person named on the certificate or record, you will still be able to get ahold of the record, but you will need to wait a certain period of time.

There is a good chance that if you have spent any time trying to find jail, and or prison records for Henry County, Alabama – or any county in Alabama – then you have probably found that it can be very difficult. This is for several different reasons: privacy laws throughout Alabama can make it more difficult to access jail and prison records, but also because Henry County, Alabama does not provide many viable resources online. In the future, the website for their sheriff may provide more information (it is located at http://www.henrycountyso.org/), but as of publication it provides no information at all.

However, contacting the Henry County Sheriff’s Department is still necessary to find out some information. Instead of doing so online, you can contact them via telephone at (334)585-3131, or by visiting them in person at 101 Court Sq, Abbeville, AL.

If you are just trying to figure out if someone you know has been arrested or is currently imprisoned anywhere in Alabama, then there are a few other resources that are available to you. The best and easiest to use for finding individual persons in the Alabama prison system is the Alabama Department of Corrections’ Prison Inmate Search Tool. This tool, located at http://www.doc.state.al.us/inmsearch.asp, provides an online listing and can be used by anyone at any time.

If you are looking for statistics on imprisoned persons in Alabama, then the ADC also can provide that for you as well. If this is more along the lines of what you are looking for, then visit their statistics page at http://www.doc.state.al.us/reports.asp

Hunting for criminal records anywhere in the country can be problematic, and it sometimes seems as though this is never more true than it is for Alabama. However, simply because the websites for various Alabama officials, including Henry County officials, do not directly list all of the records that you may be looking for does not mean that they are unavailable – just that you will need other avenues of approach to access them.

The best place to begin a hunt for legal records and court records in Henry County, Alabama is by directly contacting the various courts themselves.

While there are some counties in the state of Alabama that provide an active listing of all current arrest warrants and arrest records, Henry County is not one of them – at least not online. At the time of publication, the official Henry County Sheriff’s Office website, which is located at http://www.henrycountyso.org/, does not provide a listing like this.
