Campbell County, the easternmost of the three Northern Kentucky counties across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, is Kentucky's ninth most populous county and forms the 17th Judicial Circuit and 17th Judicial District by itself. The elected Campbell Circuit Court Clerk (currently Taunya Nolan Jack) is the custodian of record for both Circuit Court — felonies, civil suits over $5,000, and Family Court — and District Court — misdemeanors, traffic, small claims, probate, and juvenile matters.
The clerk's office is at 330 York St. in Newport, the county seat. One main phone number serves the office, with a menu option for District Court and another for Circuit Court, and the public counter is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Unlike neighboring Kenton and Boone counties, whose clerks maintain their own informational websites, the Campbell Circuit Court Clerk's official web presence is its page on the Kentucky Court of Justice site.
Campbell County has no county-specific case-search tool. Docket lookups run through the statewide KYeCourts free guest login or a paid CourtNet 2.0 subscription, the statewide docket search can be filtered to Campbell County, and fines and fees can be paid through the state ePay system. The separately elected Campbell County Clerk handles deeds, marriage licenses, and vehicle titles, not court cases.

What is available online
Campbell County case information is searched through the statewide KYeCourts guest login (free) or a CourtNet 2.0 subscription rather than a county website. The statewide docket search (kcoj.kycourts.net/dockets) can be filtered to Campbell County by court and date to see scheduled hearings. Document images are generally not available online; plain and certified copies come from the clerk's office. Depending on the case type and age, a closed file may be at the clerk's office, at a state records facility, or destroyed under the Court of Justice retention schedule; the clerk will identify the facility and provide the case and file locator numbers.
Which clerk has your record
In Kentucky, 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 Kentucky page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit Court | Felonies and capital offenses; Civil cases over $5,000; Divorce, custody, and other family-division cases | Circuit Court Clerk of the county |
| District Court | Misdemeanors, violations, and traffic offenses; Civil claims of $5,000 or less and small claims up to $2,500; Juvenile matters | Circuit Court Clerk of the county (same office keeps both Circuit and District Court records) |
