Court Records Requests

Public documents in most court cases newer than 2011 can be viewed on the computer in the courthouse lobby for free.

You must submit a records request form if you want your own copies or if you want documents from cases older than 2011.

You can request records online, by phone, or in person at the courthouse. Most requests are completed within 5 business days.

We can provide:

Paper copies of public documents
Emailed PDF copies of public documents
Audio copies of hearings in MP3 or FTR format
Certification – Documents sworn to be a true copy by the court clerk.
Exemplification – Documents sworn to be a true copy by the court clerk and Presiding Judge.

You can use OJD's free Online Record Search to find case numbers and specific documents you would like to request.
