Faulkner County (Conway, Greenbrier, Vilonia) keeps circuit court records — criminal, civil, juvenile, and probate case dockets — with the Faulkner County Circuit Clerk, Nancy Eastham, at the Faulkner County Courthouse in Conway. Court cases are scanned back to 2000 and case-related orders back to 1997, with electronic filings from 2009 forward searchable through the state's CourtConnect/Search ARCourts system.
The separate Faulkner County Clerk keeps recorded probate instruments (documents in decedent estate, guardianship, and adoption matters), county financial records, voter registration, and marriage licenses. Conway also runs its own district court for misdemeanors, traffic, and ordinance violations, which is a separate system from the circuit clerk's case files.

What is available online

Case files are scanned back to 2000 and orders back to 1997; electronic filings run from January 1, 2009 forward.

Which clerk has your record
In Arkansas, 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 Arkansas page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit Courts (28 judicial circuits) | Felony criminal cases; Civil cases above the district-court limit; Divorce, custody, and other domestic-relations cases | Circuit Clerk of the county |
| District Courts (state and local) | Misdemeanor criminal cases; Traffic violations and city ordinance violations; Preliminary felony hearings (first appearance and bond) | Clerk of the individual district court |
| City Courts | Legacy municipal-court matters in cities that have not converted to district court | Clerk of the individual city court |

Fees
| Item | Typical cost in Arkansas |
|---|---|
| Plain copy | $0.25 per page at most circuit clerks (set locally; e.g., Saline and Lonoke counties post $0.25) |
| Certified copy | $5.00 per document for the clerk's certificate and seal (Ark. Code Ann. § 21-6-402), plus the per-page copy charge |
Ark. Code Ann. § 21-6-402 fixes the circuit clerk's certificate-and-seal fee at $5.00, an authentication certificate at $5.00, and certifying costs at $2.50, but leaves the plain per-page copy charge to each clerk; the large-county schedules we checked (Saline, Lonoke) charge $0.25 per page. Uniform filing fees are in § 21-6-403. Confirm with the clerk before mailing payment, since some counties add a technology fee or charge more for oversized or archived files.
