This page helps you find Marion County, Florida court records, understand online viewing options, and identify when to contact the Marion County Clerk of Court and Comptroller for help.

Most users will begin with Marion County Online Court Records Search, then use Clerk services for registered access, certified copies, public records requests, payments, or department-specific questions.

The main public search option is the Marion County Online Court Records Search. The public access option allows anonymous viewing of court records.

Other access roles require a user ID and password. Attorneys of record, registered users, and parties can use the appropriate access option when they have credentials.

  • Choose the public option for anonymous access.
  • Select attorney, registered user, or party access only if you have the required user ID and password.
  • Contact the Clerk’s Office for help with user ID or password access.

Viewing access can vary. Online court record access is governed by Florida AOSC 16-107 and depends on the user role, case type, record type, and information in the record.

Search records through the Clerk

The Clerk’s Search Records page routes users to court records, official records, and electronic certified record services.

Use the court records search when you need case information. If you need official records instead of court case records, use the official records option through the Clerk.

Remote viewing of court records

Enhanced online viewing requires registration. Anyone seeking registered-user viewing must complete and sign the Registration Agreement to View Records Online and return it to the Clerk’s Office by email.

Questions about the registration process can be sent to marionaccess@marioncountyclerk.org.

Use the Clerk’s remote viewing information to review the access process and registration agreement.

Certified court record copies

Electronic certified court records and official record documents can be purchased online when the document is available in a viewable electronic format.

To obtain a copy of a court record, you need the case number. If you do not know the case number, search for it through the online court records search first.

If the case or document is not available for viewing online, certified copies can still be obtained by visiting the Clerk’s Office in person.

For eligible documents, use the Clerk’s electronic certified records service.

Civil, criminal, traffic, and filing options

Marion County court records may involve different court areas. The Clerk provides information for criminal courts, civil courts, civil traffic, and electronic filing.

The Circuit Court handles felony cases and juvenile delinquency matters. The County Court handles misdemeanor cases and criminal traffic cases. Civil traffic infractions are non-criminal violations and are usually handled by payment, a basic driver improvement course election, or another listed option.

Attorneys and self-represented parties who need to file court records electronically must use Florida’s eFiling Portal through the Clerk’s E-File information page.

Court payments and case reminders

The Clerk’s online options include child support payments, traffic ticket payments, and criminal case payments through the Pay Online page.

For criminal case reminders, e-Notify lets registered users receive text or email reminders about upcoming court events. Users should verify court dates and case details with the local clerk if there is any question about an event.

e-Notify may take up to three business days to show updated information after syncing with court and clerk systems, and it only returns cases that are currently open.
