White Pine County, in eastern Nevada along U.S. 50 and U.S. 93, is served by the Seventh Judicial District Court, which also covers Eureka and Lincoln Counties. In White Pine the county follows Nevada's default rule: the White Pine County Clerk serves as clerk of the Seventh Judicial District Court and maintains its records — felony and gross-misdemeanor cases, civil suits, divorce and other family matters, probate and guardianship, adoptions, juvenile matters, and appeals from justice court. The clerk's office is at 801 Clark Street, Suite 4, in Ely, while the court itself moved in November 2021 from the 1908 courthouse to the new White Pine County Justice Center at 1786 Great Basin Boulevard, where the District Court Clerk's counter (Suite 3) and both district court departments now sit.
The county publishes a detailed official fee schedule for the Seventh Judicial District Court under NRS Chapter 19. For records, the relevant lines are a research fee of $0.50 per year per name, $0.50 per page for copies, $3.00 per document for a certified copy prepared by the clerk, $5.00 to certify a copy you supply, and $6.00 for an exemplified copy. Record searches are performed by the clerk's staff — there is no public online case index — and confidential matters such as adoptions, juvenile cases, and sealed records are excluded. Fees and court-ordered payments can be made online through Point & Pay.
Misdemeanors, traffic, small claims, evictions, and civil cases up to $15,000 go to Ely Township Justice Court in Suite 6 of the Justice Center. Tickets written by Ely city police inside city limits go to Ely Municipal Court, also housed in the Justice Center, which keeps a separate docket.

The county does offer online payment of clerk and district-court fees through Point & Pay, and the district court accepts some filings by email under instructions posted on its Forms page, but neither service lets the public browse dockets or documents.
Which clerk has your record
In Nevada, 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 Nevada page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| District Courts | Felony criminal cases; Civil cases over $15,000; Divorce, custody, and other family cases | District Court Clerk — the county clerk acting ex officio in most counties, or a separately elected or appointed clerk of court where the district has created that office |
