How to Search Flagler County Court Records and Cases

Flagler County provides online court-record viewing for public records allowed by Florida Supreme Court rules. Public access includes eligible County and Circuit Civil cases, County and Circuit Criminal cases and Probate matters. Additional records can be available to registered users who complete the Clerk’s registered-user agreement. Confidential cases and documents remain excluded.

1. Open flaglerclerk.gov and choose the Court Records search from the records section.
2. Search with a case number when possible. If searching by name or citation, use the most complete information available.
3. Open the matching case and review the docket, parties and any document images available to your access level.
4. If a closed or older file is not online, contact Records Management or ask the appropriate court division for a search or copy.

The Clerk’s public-access system does not override confidentiality rules. Registered access can expand what an eligible user may view, but sealed or statutorily confidential records remain protected. The registered-user agreement must be completed as required by the Clerk. If an online search does not show a document, the file may still exist in Records Management or require in-person access.

How to Request Copies of Court Records

For a record search or copy request, prepare:

• Case number and case type, if known.
• Full party name and the years that should be searched.
• Exact document or docket entry needed.
• Whether you need a plain copy, certified copy or historical record search.

Flagler County lists standard copies at $1 per page. Certification is $2 per document. A staff record search costs $2 per year for each name searched. These fees apply across many Clerk record services. Historical and closed-file research is handled through Records Management. Because large searches can involve several years or multiple names, provide the narrowest date range possible before asking staff to search.

Other Services Available Through the Clerk

The Clerk handles circuit and county civil cases, small claims, criminal cases, traffic, family law, probate, juvenile matters and jury services. The Recording Division manages Official Records, tax deeds and marriage licenses. The office also serves as Clerk to the Board and handles county finance functions. Flagler’s Records Management Division preserves permanent court dockets, Official Records and financial records, along with early government records dating to the county’s beginning.

Court Records vs. Property Records

Court Records and Official Records are separate systems. Court Records contain judicial case files. Official Records contain deeds, mortgages, assignments, satisfactions, subdivision plats, claims of lien, judgments, notices and other recorded instruments. Flagler’s Official Records portal supports searches by name, document type, case number, book and page, parcel ID, record date, instrument number and legal description. Use the court search for a lawsuit or criminal case. Use Official Records for a deed or mortgage.
