Search Marion County Court Case Records

This page helps users with court records in Marion County, Indiana, including how to search case information, request copies, and identify the right official office for next steps.

For online case lookup, Indiana’s Case Search - MyCase is the main public search tool for non-confidential cases in courts that use the Odyssey case management system. For official copies or records that are not available online, the Marion County Clerk’s Office or the court maintaining the record may be needed.

Case Search - MyCase

Use search Indiana court cases on MyCase to look for non-confidential case information in Indiana courts that use Odyssey. MyCase supports searches by case number, party name, or attorney.

• Case number, if you already know it
• Party name for a name-based search
• Attorney information for an attorney-based search
• Court or case category filters, such as Criminal & Citation, Civil, Family, Probate, Appellate, or Commercial

Choose the search tab that matches the information you have before reviewing the results.

• Select the Case tab, Name tab, or Attorney tab.
• Enter the case details or party information.
• Limit the search by court or case category when needed.
• Open the matching result and review the case status, filings, and hearing information shown online.

MyCase is not the official court record. Official records of court proceedings must be obtained directly from the court that maintains the record.

Marion County court record access

The Indiana Judicial Branch Marion County page directs users to search court cases, contact the local court, e-file a case, and review local court information. It also notes that users should contact the local court directly for questions about jury duty, an upcoming court date, or getting a copy of a document that is not available online.

Use the Marion County court pages when you need local court routing, court contacts, local rules, or case-related next steps beyond a basic online search.

Civil, family, probate, and related case records

The Marion Superior Court’s Civil Division handles general civil cases, juvenile cases, probate, environmental cases, and domestic relations matters. Free Marion County civil case status information is available online through the civil case search path listed by the Civil Filing Division.

For civil searches, select Marion County-Traffic/Downtown Civil Courts from the location dropdown, then choose Civil, Family & Probate Case Records.

The Civil Filing Division also provides standard documents for civil case procedures, including case management order instructions, jury trial procedures, and standard jury instructions.

Certified copies, transcripts, and recordings

If you need a certified copy of a court order or another court record, the Marion Circuit Court directs users to request copies through the Marion County Clerk’s Office. Copies may be picked up in person at the Clerk’s office or sent by mail.

For certified transcripts from Marion Circuit and Superior Courts, use the transcript and recording order process. Users place the order, wait for approval and an estimate, pay online, and download the transcript when it is complete.

Case information online can help you identify the case before requesting copies, but certified records and official court records come from the court or Clerk’s Office handling the record.

E-filing and case updates

Indiana’s statewide e-filing system supports online filing for Indiana courts. Users can review statewide e-filing information, user guides, rules, and provider support through the Indiana Judicial Branch e-filing page.

For Marion Circuit Court matters, pending case status and upcoming court dates can be checked on MyCase using the cause number. Filings processed by the Marion County Clerk’s Office do not immediately reach the court, and the court asks users to allow 3 business days before contacting the court about a recent filing.

Access limits and official record cautions

Electronic access to Indiana court information is restricted by federal law, state law, court rules, and court orders. MyCase provides public access to non-confidential case information, but online results may contain errors or omissions.

Use online case results as a starting point for case status, filings, and hearing information. For an official record, contact the court that maintains the proceeding or the Marion County Clerk’s Office when the record is handled through the Clerk.
