Everett OUI and DUI Records
Everett DUI records are handled at Malden District Court, which serves Everett for misdemeanor OUI cases, and at Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn for felony charges. Everett has no local courthouse, so all OUI filings go through the Malden court, and those records are available to the public through the state's online case access system or by visiting the clerk's office.
Everett Overview
Which Courts Handle Everett OUI Cases
Everett does not have its own district court. When someone is arrested for OUI in Everett, the case is filed at Malden District Court. That court covers Malden, Everett, and Medford, which makes it a busy hub for northern Middlesex County. Arraignments, hearings, pretrial motions, and final dispositions for Everett OUI cases all take place at the Malden court. The clerk's office there holds all the case files.
Malden District Court is at 89 Summer Street, Malden, MA 02148. The phone is 781-322-7500. Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. When you go in person, bring the full name of the person you are researching. A case number helps if you have one. Plain copies of documents from the file cost $0.05 per page. Certified copies, which carry the official court seal, cost $2.50 per page.

Searching Everett DUI Records Online
The Massachusetts Trial Court Case Access portal is the fastest way to look up Everett OUI case records online.
This free tool covers all Massachusetts trial courts statewide. Search by name, case number, or docket and see charge details, hearing dates, and case outcomes with no account needed.

I-93 and Route 16 run near Everett, and State Police patrol those corridors. OUI arrests on the highway produce records at the State Police barracks responsible for that stretch of road, not at Everett Police or Malden District Court in the first instance. If the highway stop resulted in a charge, the court case will still end up at Malden District Court. But the police report stays with the arresting agency, which in those cases is State Police.
Middlesex County sees significant OUI volume each year. The county is the most populous in Massachusetts and includes several dense cities. Malden District Court serves as a shared hub for Medford, Malden, and Everett, which means the court handles a heavy docket. Records from all those cases are public and available through the same search tools.
The full text of MGL c.90 § 24, the main OUI statute in Massachusetts, is available at the state legislature site. It covers definitions, penalties, and how the law applies to cases filed at courts like Malden District Court for Everett arrests.
Reading the statute directly gives you the clearest picture of what the charge entails and what records are generated when an Everett OUI case is filed.
Everett Police OUI Records
The Everett Police Department handles OUI arrests within city limits. Their records are kept separate from court records. An Everett Police OUI file includes the arrest narrative, field sobriety test results, chemical test data, and booking information. To get that report, you contact Everett Police, not the court.
Everett Police is at 45 Elm Street, Everett, MA 02149. The main number is 617-389-2120. Contact the Records Division to request a copy of a report. You can submit a request in person or in writing. State law determines what gets released and what may be withheld. Reports in open cases or those involving protected individuals may be partially redacted. Allow a few business days for processing.
As noted, State Police also patrol I-93 near Everett. OUI arrests on that highway go through the State Police rather than Everett Police. If you are not sure which agency made the arrest, start with the court case file. The arresting officer and agency appear on the court docket at Malden District Court.
Note: Police reports and court records are separate documents held by different agencies. You may need to request both to get the full picture of an Everett OUI case.
Massachusetts OUI Law and What It Means for Everett Cases
Massachusetts calls impaired driving OUI. The charge applies to alcohol and drug impairment. The governing statute is MGL c.90 § 24. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for drivers 21 and older. For drivers under 21, the limit is 0.02%. Refusing a breathalyzer test at a stop triggers an automatic license suspension on top of any criminal charge.
A first OUI in Everett can result in a fine of $500 to $5,000, up to 2.5 years in jail, and a one-year license suspension. First-time defendants are often offered a 24D disposition under MGL c.90 § 24D. That path involves probation, a driver alcohol education program, and a shorter period of license loss. The 24D hearing is at Malden District Court for Everett cases. A second OUI brings a two-year suspension. A third means an eight-year suspension and a move to Middlesex Superior Court.
State law sets these penalties. They apply the same way in Everett as everywhere else in Massachusetts.
Driving Records and License Reinstatement
An OUI in Everett can trigger action at the Massachusetts RMV. The RMV can suspend your license before the court case resolves, especially after a breathalyzer refusal. The RMV and the court work on separate tracks. To check what is on your driving record, request a copy from the Massachusetts RMV. An unattested record costs $8. An attested record with the official seal is $20.
When a suspension period ends, you must apply to reinstate your license through the RMV. The court does not handle that step. Details are at the license reinstatement page on mass.gov. Depending on the offense, reinstatement may require proof of insurance, payment of fees, and proof that any required programs are done. Start the process early so you are ready to apply as soon as the suspension runs out.
CORI and OUI Sealing for Everett Residents
CORI stands for Criminal Offender Record Information. It is the official Massachusetts criminal record system. An OUI charge or conviction in Everett shows up on a CORI report. You can get your own CORI from the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services for $25.
Some Everett OUI records can be sealed after enough time passes. A 24D disposition can be sealed as soon as the program is complete. A misdemeanor OUI conviction requires a five-year wait from the end of the case. A felony OUI conviction needs a ten-year wait before you can petition to seal. Once sealed, records are hidden from most background checks. Law enforcement and courts still have access. The petition to seal is filed at Malden District Court, since that is the court that holds Everett OUI cases.
Note: Sealing a court OUI record does not remove the history from your RMV driving record. The RMV keeps its own record of OUI-related license actions independent of what the court does.
