Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian tied to the Stanly County record:
- Court files and dispositions: contact the Stanly County Clerk of Superior Court at 201 S. Second Street, Albemarle, NC 28002; mail to PO Box 668, Albemarle, NC 28002; call 704-986-7000. Public hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Sheriff reports: contact the Stanly County Sheriff's Office, 223 S. Second Street, Albemarle, NC 28001, at 704-986-3714. The sheriff does not publish dedicated records-counter hours, so confirm the current request method and time before visiting.
- Current custody and booking questions: contact Ralph McSwain Detention Center Booking at 704-986-3739 or the booking-and-bond desk at 704-986-3858.
- Fingerprint-supported personal review: use the SBI Right to Review process and obtain fingerprints from a local law-enforcement agency.
- Police incident reports: request the record from the police department that created it, not from the sheriff or clerk.
- Expunction filings: file with the clerk in the county where the charge or conviction originated.
The clerk is the right counter for certified Stanly County court searches and filed case documents. The sheriff is the logical custodian for its own incident, arrest, and detention records. Call first when a request needs a copy fee, a special submission method, or an office visit.
