JULY 10, 2025 UPDATE: 

Due to needed repairs, several Sheriff's Office services have had to temporarily relocate. 

Fingerprint services, as well as the offices of the Concealed Carry Weapons and Sex Offender Registration and Enforcement units, have moved from their normal location of 27 S. Main St. to the adjoining building at 12 S. Water St., Liberty, Mo. The public lobby at 27 S. Main St. is closed until repairs are completed. 

Hours in the temporary location remain the same: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. How long the 27 S. Main St. lobby will remain closed has yet to be determined. 

Fingerprinting Service phone number: 816-407-3740

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office offers a digital fingerprinting service for those needing fingerprints for a variety of reasons, including; professional licensing, background checks, employment and volunteer positions. The Livescan machine is used to capture your prints digitally. We do not offer ink fingerprinting.

Cost: $10 for a set of two cards (exact cash only)

Each additional set is $10.

An appointment is required for fingerprints. We cannot accept walk-ins. Please call 816-407-3740 to schedule your appointment.
