The Orange County Clerk of the Court — serving the Ninth Judicial Circuit alongside Osceola County —
keeps all trial-court records for Orange County, circuit and county alike. As in every Florida county
there is no separate county clerk; county_clerk is null in this record.
The Clerk's free public search, myeClerk, covers most case types with online documents available from 2009 forward; older records can be requested online, by mail, or in person. Parties to a case can submit an affidavit to unlock a higher level of access to their own case after the Clerk verifies their identity.
Because Orange County sits in the Ninth Judicial Circuit with Osceola County, the circuit court's own "Case Query" tool sometimes appears in search results alongside myeClerk — myeClerk is the Clerk's official record search and the one to use for case documents and copies.
Orange County includes Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, and the tourist corridor around the theme parks, so the Clerk's office handles an unusually high volume of small-claims, traffic, and family filings for a county its size. The Clerk publishes separate contact lines for child support, probate and mental health, and self-help matters in addition to the general call center, which is often the fastest way to reach the right division without being transferred.

Which clerk has your record
In Florida, 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 Florida page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit Courts (20 judicial circuits) | Felony criminal cases; Family law (divorce, custody, paternity); Probate and guardianship | Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller of the county |
| County Courts | Misdemeanor criminal cases; Traffic infractions and criminal traffic; Civil cases up to $50,000 (small claims up to $8,000) | Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller of the county |

Sealed and restricted records
Florida court records are presumed open under Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420, which lists roughly 19 specific categories of information the clerk must keep confidential even within an otherwise public case file (for example Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, and certain victim and minor-witness identifying information). Confidentiality of court records in Florida is governed by this court rule, not by the state's public-records law (Chapter 119), which does not apply to the judicial branch.
The Florida 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
How far back do Orange County's online case records go?
myeClerk generally has documents online from 2009 to the present for most case types. Earlier records can be requested by mail, online request, or in person from the Clerk's office.
Can I get more access to my own Orange County case online?
Yes. Submit an affidavit confirming you are a party to the case; once the Clerk verifies it, you'll get a confirmation email and expanded login access for that case.
Is there a separate county clerk in Orange County?
No. The Orange County Clerk of Courts handles both circuit and county court records, so this guide lists that office as the district_clerk and leaves county_clerk null.
What phone number do I call for an Orange County case question?
The Clerk's general call center is 407-836-2000, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Have the case or citation number and the party's name ready.
Are there separate phone lines for specific Orange County case types?
Yes. Child support, probate and mental health, and self-help matters each have a dedicated line listed on the Clerk's website, which can be faster than the general call center for those topics.
