Are Court Records Public in Page County?

According to Title 17.1 of the Code of Virginia, Page County court records are available to the public unless otherwise stated by law. This means anyone may view and request copies of court records that are not deemed confidential, protected, or sealed by law. Nonetheless, due to privacy concerns, Title 16.1 restricts public access to certain documents such as juvenile and mental health records, and cases involving child custody, support, or family abuse. Others include court-sealed or expunged records and files containing sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers or financial data.
