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 copy request form if you want your own copies or if you want documents from cases older than 2011. 

You can submit a copy request by email, mail, fax, 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.

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