Pinal County's Superior Court is based in Florence, and the Clerk of the Superior Court of Pinal County keeps its civil, criminal, probate, domestic relations, juvenile, and guardianship files, plus marriage license records dating back to 1875. The clerk's office accepts online requests for copies through an electronic form and quotes the fee before processing.
Misdemeanors, small claims, evictions, and county-issued traffic citations go to one of Pinal County's justice courts instead; the justice courts point the public to the free statewide Public Access portal for case lookups, separate from the Superior Court clerk's copy-request system. Municipal courts in cities such as Casa Grande, Coolidge, and Apache Junction handle city-issued tickets and ordinance violations.

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.
