Obtaining Copies of Court Records

Getting Started

  1. The case number – if you don’t know this, you can search by name
  2. The number of pages
    • Divorce decrees are a flat rate of $6.00 per certified copy, you do not need the number of pages. For other documents, your total cost will be 50 cents per page and $3 per document certified. If you can’t see the document to count the pages, find your case number and then call the Resource Center.
  3. Total cost – The total cost is the number of pages multiplied by 50 cents plus the cost of any additional fees. For example, a certified document with 5 pages (5 x 50 cents = 2.50) would be $2.50 for the number of pages and then $3.00 for the certification (2.50 + 3.00 = 5.50), for a total of $5.50.
