Why We Built This Site
Mississippi gives the public broad access to court records under the Mississippi Public Records Act. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file you want. The Circuit Clerk handles Circuit Court felony and civil case files, plus marriage licenses. The Chancery Clerk handles divorce, probate, estate, guardianship, and land records filed in Chancery Court. The Justice Court handles county traffic tickets, DUIs, and misdemeanors, while Prentiss Municipal Court handles city cases. The Sheriff runs the county jail, and the Mississippi Department of Corrections tracks state prisoners. Add the statewide Mississippi Electronic Courts system and the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, and the picture gets crowded fast. We pull the contact details, search portals, and request steps for each of these offices into one place.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Mississippi court, clerk's office, sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
