How to Search Palm Beach County Court Records and Cases
eCaseView is Palm Beach County’s free public court-record database for civil, criminal and traffic cases. It provides case information such as parties, court dates, charges, sentences and docket history, along with many viewable document images.
- Go to mypalmbeachclerk.com and open eCaseView.
- Continue as a guest for ordinary public searching or sign in if you have registered access.
- Search with the case number or available party/case information and open the matching result.
- Use the Dockets & Documents area to review available images or select an eligible document for certification.
Document images are generally available from late 2008, with earlier images available case by case. Some case types, including juvenile, adoption and certain mental-health matters, are not available to ordinary public users. Family, probate, guardianship and mental-health images can require registered or attorney access.
How to Request Copies of Court Records
Uncertified court documents that are viewable in eCaseView can be viewed, saved and printed free of charge. Eligible electronic certified court documents can be purchased online; Palm Beach lists the eCertified cost as $8 per document, including the statutory certification fee and service fee, plus applicable payment processing charges. Certified copies are also available through the Records Service Center and branch locations, and requests can be made by mail for records not conveniently obtained online.
| Method | Useful when |
| Online | You need a free uncertified copy or an eligible eCertified document available in eCaseView |
| In person | You need a manually stamped certified copy, research help or an unredacted copy you are entitled to receive |
| You cannot visit and can provide the record details, payment and return-mail information to the Records Service Center |
Other Services Available Through the Clerk
The Clerk handles civil, criminal, traffic, family, probate, guardianship and mental-health records, Official Records, marriage-related documents, tax deeds, jury functions, certified copies, records research and county comptroller duties. Some services can be completed entirely online, while restricted records require identity or access verification.
Court Records vs. Official Records
eCaseView is for court cases. Official Records are recorded documents such as deeds, mortgages, judgments, liens, marriage licenses and tax deeds. Palm Beach provides a separate Official Records search, so property-record research should not begin in eCaseView unless the document is part of an actual court case.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. eCaseView provides guest access for public searches. Registration gives additional search or document access where Florida rules permit it.
