Court Records

The Public Records Division in Escambia County, Florida manages court records for the County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller and the Board of County Commissioners.

Court records are official documents generated throughout legal proceedings, such as criminal case files, bankruptcy records, and records from family or probate court. They contained detailed information about the proceedings, including names of the parties involved, dates of hearings, testimony and evidence, and rulings in cases. Court records are kept for specified periods of time, which vary by court, and then are disposed of or archived. Most court records are considered public, though some information may be restricted or contain information that will be redacted when copies are provided to the public. In some cases, court records may be sealed and require a court order to access, but many others can be accessed easily online.

Requests for copies of court records in Escambia County should be directed to the Public Records Division. Requests should include the case number, names of the parties involved, and the title or name of the document being requested should be provided. The Division provides a Request for Copies or Viewing of Court Records Form online for this purpose. Cases may be searched online by the date the case was opened or closed, the court type or case type, or the statutes or charges involved in the case. If the person making the request is a party to the case and requesting un-redacted effort, they must provide a photo ID. The records custodian of Escambia County may be contacted at (850) 595-4149 or PublicRecords@EscambiaClerk.com.
