50-State Court Records Directory
Court Records Search by State
Find Court Records in Your State
Use our 50-state directory to locate official court case search systems, public dockets, and available court documents.
Court record access is different in every state. Some states allow you to search cases and download court documents online, while others require you to contact the county court clerk. Select your state below to find the official starting point.
Court Records Are Not the Same in Every State
A public court case search does not necessarily mean every document in the case is available online. Access can vary by state, county, court, case type, and confidentiality rules. Family, juvenile, adoption, dependency, CPS, child-welfare, and protective-order records may have additional restrictions.
If documents are not available online, the court clerk may be able to provide copies of public records.
Important: CPS, Dependency & Juvenile Records
Child-welfare, dependency, juvenile, adoption, and certain family-court records are frequently confidential or restricted from public access. The existence of a court case does not mean the public can access the underlying documents.
