Court Records Access

The clerk offers several levels of electronic access to records and e-filing based on the status or identity of the user. Florida law restricts access to some cases, documents and information based on the record and the user. For example, Florida law prohibits public access to juvenile records but makes an exception for law enforcement. In addition, attorneys and parties have increased access to their own cases. The clerk has created different levels of access depending on the user. Except for Public Internet access, all users must enter into a subscription agreement and access court records through secure login and password.
