Coconino County is the largest county in Arizona by land area, stretching from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon and the Utah line, but its Superior Court records are kept in one place: the Clerk of the Superior Court at the Coconino County Courthouse, 200 N. San Francisco Street in downtown Flagstaff. The clerk is the official record keeper for civil, criminal, domestic relations, probate, adoption, and juvenile cases, stores trial exhibits, issues marriage licenses, and serves as jury commissioner for both the Superior Court and the county's justice courts.
The clerk's office does not run a county case-search site. Its "Web-Based Services" page directs the public to two Arizona Supreme Court tools: the free Public Access to Court Case Information portal for case histories and limited minute entries, and eAccess for viewing and downloading public documents for a fee. The office is candid that not every document can be posted online and that the complete file is always maintained at the clerk's counter in Flagstaff.
Traffic citations and misdemeanor complaints are not handled by the Superior Court clerk, and the office cannot look up other courts' records. Those cases belong to one of the county's justice courts — Flagstaff, Fredonia, Page, or Williams — or to a city magistrate court such as Flagstaff Municipal Court.

What is available online
Coconino County has no county-run case search. The clerk's Web-Based Services page links to the Arizona Supreme Court's Public Access to Court Case Information portal, which tracks filings in public cases and offers limited access to certain minute entries but not other filings, and to eAccess, which provides public documents and some certified copies for a fee where they are available. Marriage licenses are not available through eAccess. Attorneys have filed civil cases electronically since April 2019 and criminal cases since January 2021, so document images for those years are more complete than for older paper files; self-represented parties may still file on paper.
Which clerk has your record
In Arizona, the clerk who keeps a file depends on which court heard the case. Check the court name on the case notice, citation, or order, then use the office and coverage details above to identify the record holder. Court names and responsibilities differ by state; a county clerk may not keep court case files. For federal cases, see the PACER guide. The full court structure is on the Arizona page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Superior Court (one per county) | Felony criminal cases; Divorce, custody, and other family cases; Civil cases above the justice-court jurisdictional limit | Clerk of the Superior Court of the county |
| Justice Courts | Misdemeanors; Civil cases up to the justice-court limit; Evictions and small claims | Clerk of the individual justice court precinct |
| Municipal Courts | Misdemeanors and petty offenses within city limits; City ordinance violations; Traffic tickets issued by city police | Municipal court clerk for that city |

Fees
| Item | Typical cost in Arizona |
|---|---|
| Plain copy | $0.50 per page |
| Certified copy | $30.00 statutory certification fee per document, plus $0.50 per page; most county clerks post $35.00 |
A.R.S. § 12-284 sets the Superior Court clerk's base fees at $0.50 per page for copies (Class F) and $30.00 for a certificate of correctness or document certification (Class E), and states that copy fees are separate from certification fees. Counties add authorized surcharges, so posted county schedules commonly show $35.00 per certification and an $8.00 postage-and-handling charge (Mohave, Coconino, Yavapai, Apache); Navajo County posts $30.00. Justice courts use a separate limited-jurisdiction schedule (typically $0.50 per page and $33.00 per certification). Confirm the total with the specific clerk before sending payment.

Sealed and restricted records
Arizona court records are presumed open under Arizona Supreme Court Rule 123, which sets the general rule that records of the Judicial Department are available for public inspection unless a specific confidentiality interest outweighs that presumption. Several categories will not appear in a public search:
The Arizona guide lists every category of sealed and restricted record, and our guide to expunging or sealing a criminal record explains how to remove one from public view.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Coconino County court case search website?
Not a county-run one. The Clerk of the Superior Court links to the Arizona Supreme Court's free Public Access portal for case histories and to eAccess for documents, and notes that the full file is always kept at the courthouse in Flagstaff.
What does a certified copy cost in Coconino County?
The clerk's posted fee schedule lists copies at $0.50 per page and certification as to correctness of documents at $35.00, with an $8.00 postage and handling charge for mailed copies.
Can the Superior Court clerk look up my Coconino County traffic ticket?
No. The clerk's office does not handle traffic citations or misdemeanor complaints and cannot see other courts' records. Check your paperwork for the justice court (Flagstaff, Fredonia, Page, or Williams) or municipal court that issued it.
Where do I get forms to file a case in Coconino County Superior Court?
