How Can I Get Copies From a Court File?

With some exceptions, most files in the Champaign County Circuit Clerk’s office are a matter of public record. Files can be viewed in our File Viewing Room and copies can be made from them.

If you are unable to visit the courthouse and would like copies made, you can do so by completing the form below. Please provide as much information as possible within your request. Once we receive your request we will calculate the cost for copies and inform you, via email, of the cost.

If you are unsure of your case number, you can search our site for the case number using our court case lookup system. If you are unable to find the case number, or it is not included in your request, there will be a $6.00 per year record search fee assessed.
