NO FCRA USE. Fayette County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Kentucky, or federal government agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service designed for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This resource helps readers locate Fayette County, Kentucky criminal-record channels. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve records for a visitor, conduct official background checks, or submit documents on anyone's behalf.
Its role is to identify source custodians. In Fayette County, those include Lexington Police, Community Corrections, the Fayette circuit court clerk, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to independently operated search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the website is conditioned on the following restrictions. A visitor must not:
- Use the site in violation of federal, Kentucky, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Rely on site content for lending, insurance, employment, or housing decisions
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Interfere with service performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked service may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, and KRS 17.150 govern access to certain government and law-enforcement records; public access does not authorize abuse. Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry information is intended for public-safety awareness. Harassment may violate KRS 525.070 or KRS 525.080, and registry information must never support vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Fayette County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create credit reports, background checks, or any other consumer report. Its advertising partners also do not provide services intended to assess applicants, rental applications, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set insurance rates or evaluate creditworthiness
- Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision
- Assess a renter or housing applicant
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Serve any additional purpose governed by the FCRA
A legally permissible check for one of those purposes must be obtained through an authorized official process or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA. This website is not that channel.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations about Fayette County records do not constitute legal advice. Only a licensed Kentucky attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law applies to a particular set of facts.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are offered "as is." No warranty is made that:
- Partner search results will be complete or accurate

- The service will operate continuously without interruption

Criminal-record status changes as charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Publication delays and gaps are unavoidable.
