Order Online! Order copies of court records online.

You can now order copies of court records online. This is an easy and convenient method to order copies.

You must identify the pages you wish to have copied. The research room staff is not trained in court procedures and can provide only limited assistance in identifying pages that you need. All questions regarding file contents must be directed to the appropriate Federal court.

We offer several "package" deals for copies of the entire case file or for copies of specific schedules/documents from the file. You can either pick up the copies at our facility or we can have them faxed or mailed to you. We cannot fax files that have been requested to be certified.

  • Payment is due at time of service.
  • Payment may be made by cash, money order, personal check (payable to the National Archives Trust Fund, valid identification required), or by American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or VISA.
  • Photocopy requests of more than 100 pages will either be mailed to you or will be available for pick-up the following day.
