Tippecanoe County court record search tips

For better name searches, enter the last name and the first initial of the party. Date of birth and Social Security number information are not included on most records, so using those fields may not return the record you need.

Search results are current when updates, changes, or rulings have been entered into the Odyssey system. If a result is missing, unclear, or needs confirmation, contact the Tippecanoe County Clerk’s Office.

Do not assume a criminal conviction from a case listing. A criminal case can appear after charges are filed. Read the docket text to see the outcome.

Official records and copy requests

Online case information is a public access service, but it is not the official court record. Official records of court proceedings must be obtained directly from the court that maintains the record.

The Tippecanoe County Clerk’s Office processes record requests, including marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and case filings. If you know the document category, use that form. If you are not sure, submit it as a record request form through the Clerk’s Office page.

After a request is received, processed, and completed, the office notifies the requester by email. Check spam or junk mail if the message does not appear in the inbox.

For local request options, visit the Tippecanoe County Clerk record request page.

Record request payments

Credit and debit card payments for record requests include a 3% convenience fee. Transactions under $33.00 have a minimum convenience fee of $1.00. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted.

PAYGOV.US also assesses a nominal convenience fee for processing. If payment processing is not working, PAYGOV can be reached at 1-866-480-8552.
