Why We Built This Site
Indiana gives the public broad access to court records unless a rule, statute, or court order makes a record confidential. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file you want. Shelby County uses Circuit and Superior Courts rather than a county district court system. The Shelby County Clerk handles filings, record requests, certified copies, marriage licenses, and court payments. The Sheriff's Department manages local jail and law-enforcement records. State agencies handle driver records and state-prison custody. We pull together the contact details, search portals, fee schedules, and request steps for each of these offices into one place.
What You Will Find Here
- Records pages by type: court records, arrest records and charges, inmate records, warrant records, marriage and divorce, probate, and more
- Office contacts: direct contact info for the Shelby County Clerk, Circuit and Superior Courts, and major facilities
- Search walkthroughs: step-by-step guides for Indiana MyCase, CourtCal, JailTracker, INjail, and other official databases
- Public records help: how to use the Clerk's record request process and what the county says about turnaround time
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Indiana court, Shelby County office, sheriff's office, clerk'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.
