UPDATE to In-person Services
The OSBI Headquarters Lobby is open to the public, however, an appointment is still required for fingerprint services*. We recommend that you utilize our online services to obtain a name-based record check at chirp.osbi.ok.gov and apply for or check the status of your SDA license at osbi.ok.gov/handgun-licensing. Please click here for information regarding evidence submittal to the OSBI Laboratory.
*Fingerprint services for individuals are by appointment only (please call 405-848-6724 and ask for the Ten Print Unit for an appointment). This service is ONLY available to individuals whose fingerprints have been previously rejected twice by the OSBI.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is the state repository for all criminal history information. Information from the OSBI's repository is available to the public.
The Oklahoma Open Records Act was established to ensure and facilitate the public's right of access to and review of government records. The privacy interests of individuals are adequately protected in the specific exceptions to the Oklahoma Open Records Act or in the Statutes, which create or require the records. Pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, Title 51 § 24.A.5.2, all requests for criminal history record information must include at least the full name and date of birth of the subject to be searched. Additional identifiers such as aliases (i.e. maiden names, nicknames) and social security numbers, if known, should be provided resulting in a more complete search of the OSBI Criminal History Record files.
