Official Allen County court records
The Clerk of the Allen Circuit and Superior Courts administers official court records for trial court cases with jurisdiction in Allen County. The Clerk prepares permanent historical records, processes court case documents, makes entries on the Chronological Case Summary, and maintains the Judgment Docket and Record of Judgments and Orders.
For an official court record or a certified copy, work directly with the court or Clerk office maintaining the record. Online case information is useful for searching and review, but official records of court proceedings must be obtained from the court that maintains the record.
Allen County Circuit and Superior Courts
The Allen County Circuit and Superior Courts are the top trial courts in Allen County and are part of the Indiana state court system. The Clerk supports these courts by processing court records and issuing documents for case activity.
The Clerk’s court-related duties include filing and processing new cases for Civil, Criminal, Family Relations, Probate, and Small Claims Divisions. The office also issues documents such as protective orders, service of process, writs, arrest warrants, commitments, and jailer’s releases.
When to use other court services
Some court-related tasks use a different official service than a basic case search. Use the service that matches the task you need.
- Use Allen County court information from the Indiana Judicial Branch for local court contacts, court rules, court statistics, and county court links.
- Use Indiana statewide e-filing resources for e-filing guides, rules, providers, and support.
- Use the Allen County Clerk for marriage, divorce, wills, and other family-court related records handled through the court system.
- For police records, submit the request to the specific police department that handled the matter.
Public access and document limits
Electronic access to court information is restricted by federal law, Indiana law, court rules, and court orders. MyCase covers non-confidential cases in courts using Odyssey, so some records or documents may not be available through the public search.
Indiana Courts also provides public access services that do not require an account, plus secure account options for party access and attorney access. Party access may allow a person connected to a case to sign in and connect the case for document access when the case is available in MyCase.
