Ordering Certified Copies through Search
- You may use any of the search criteria available on the Search page.
- You must enter some search criteria -- you may not perform a "blank" search.
- The more specific search criteria you enter, the fewer results you will receive.
- When you enter a name to search, it is not necessary to enter special characters (e.g. ampersand &, apostrophe ').
These characters are ignored during the search.
As a result of this, your search results may include names that have these special characters, even if you did not enter them.

When will I receive my certified copy?
You will receive an email notification when your certified copy has been sent in the mail by the county clerk staff. Delivery time will vary based on your shipping address.
My order was rejected?
If your order was rejected all certfied copies ordered will be rejected and the money spent will be refunded to your credit/debit card or account balance depending on your payment method.
Certified copy orders are typically only rejected if only a description is entered and it is not sufficient enough for the clerks to find the document.
