Official Clay County Record Contacts
Clay County arrests can involve several record holders. The Sheriff may be the appropriate contact for an arrest-side record. Central Regional Jail & Correctional Facility is the WVDCR regional jail that serves Clay County, while WVDCR’s current policy governs a request for an agency-held admission record or photograph. Court clerks handle case documents and disposition questions, not jail intake files.

For a court filing, docket entry, order, or disposition, identify the case number when possible and contact the correct clerk. The official Magistrate Record Search instructions explain that the free index is limited and that documents may need to be obtained from the clerk. For a public-record request, West Virginia Code §29B-1-3 requires reasonable specificity and provides the state’s general access framework.
