Navajo County runs north to south through eastern Arizona, from the Navajo Nation and Hopi lands down to the White Mountains, and its Superior Court sits in two places: the county seat of Holbrook and a second courthouse in Show Low. The Navajo County Clerk of the Court in Holbrook is the official record keeper for both locations, holding civil, criminal, domestic relations, probate, and juvenile case files. The clerk's office also lists phone lines for Show Low, Winslow, and Heber, reflecting how spread out the county's court business is.

The county does not maintain its own case-search site. Its Superior Court page links directly to the Arizona Judicial Branch's free Public Access to Court Case Information lookup for case information. Copies come from the clerk through a Request for Public Records form, which can be mailed, faxed, or emailed to the office; the form spells out a fee schedule that includes per-page copies, document certification, research, and media charges.

Misdemeanors, civil traffic, evictions, and small claims are handled by six justice courts — Holbrook, Winslow, Snowflake, Kayenta, Show Low, and Pinetop-Lakeside — each with its own clerk and records. Tickets from city police in Show Low, Winslow, or other incorporated towns go to that city's magistrate court instead.

What is available online

Navajo County has no county-run case search. The Superior Court page links to the Arizona Judicial Branch's Public Access to Court Case Information lookup, which shows case information for participating Navajo County courts but generally not document images. Copies are ordered from the clerk; the office notes that if an order exceeds 60 pages, a media charge applies because the file exceeds its email data limit. Fines and fees can be paid online through the clerk's nCourt payment page, but that is a payment tool, not a records search.

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.

Fees

ItemTypical 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.
