Hamilton County, north of Indianapolis and one of the fastest-growing counties in the state, is served by a single Clerk's Office at the county government center in Noblesville. The Clerk keeps records for all county-level Circuit and Superior Court cases, including civil suits, criminal cases, estates, guardianships, juvenile matters, and traffic tickets, and also processes passport applications and marriage licenses.
Court cases are searchable for free through the statewide MyCase portal, and the Clerk's Office maintains its own "Record Request" page for requesting copies of documents such as divorce decrees, expungement orders, estate filings, and criminal case records that a requester cannot retrieve online.

What is available online
MyCase covers Hamilton County Circuit and Superior Court case information for free. The Clerk's Office Record Request page is the route for documents that are not posted online, including older divorce, estate, and criminal case files. As statewide, protection-order, confidential, sealed, and expunged cases will not appear in either search. Hamilton County's rapid population growth over the last two decades means many of its cases were filed after the county's courts moved onto the state's electronic case management system, so a larger share of recent filings has document images available online than in some older, slower-growing counties. Requesters should still expect a gap for anything filed on paper before that transition, and for documents a court has marked confidential even in an otherwise public case.
Which clerk has your record
In Indiana, 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 Indiana page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Indiana Tax Court | Appeals of state and local tax assessments and determinations | Clerk of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Tax Court |
| Circuit Courts | Felony criminal cases; Divorce, custody, and other family cases; Civil suits of any amount | Clerk of the Circuit Court |
| Superior Courts | Felony and misdemeanor criminal cases; Civil suits; Family and juvenile matters | Clerk of the Circuit Court (the same office keeps Superior Court files in most counties) |
| City and Town Courts | Ordinance violations; Traffic infractions and misdemeanors within city or town limits; Minor criminal offenses | Clerk of the city or town court (a separate office from the county clerk) |

Fees
| Item | Typical cost in Indiana |
|---|---|
| Plain copy | $1.00 per page (IC 33-37-5-1) |
| Certified copy | $1.00 per page plus a $3.00 certification fee per document (IC 33-37-5-1 and IC 33-37-5-3) |
These are the statewide caps set by Title 33, Article 37 of the Indiana Code. A county's legislative body may adopt its own document-fee ordinance, but it cannot exceed the statutory per-page rate. Confirm the current fee with the specific clerk's office before sending payment, since local ordinances and add-on fees (such as record-perpetuation fees) vary. Amounts confirmed against the current Indiana Code text of IC 33-37-5-1 ($1 per legal- or letter-size page, including partially covered pages) and IC 33-37-5-3 ($3 for each certificate under seal). Both sections exempt records copied through electronic "enhanced access" and documents sent by fax or electronically.

The Indiana 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.
