Randolph County Clerk Office
The county identifies Jacqueline Peed as Randolph County Clerk and Randolph Circuit Court Clerk. The office is on the second floor of the courthouse in Winchester. For court users, the Clerk is the practical office for filings, certified copies, payment processing, marriage licenses, divorce filings, small claims filings, and public documents that MyCase does not provide as downloads. Indiana Judicial Branch guidance points users to the local clerk when a public court document is not available online.
The official county source is the Randolph County Clerk page. It lists the clerk, staff, address, hours, payment methods, PayGOV location code, and child-support payment restrictions. The Clerk's Office works beside Circuit Court, Superior Court, the Prosecutor, Recorder, Auditor, Treasurer, Assessor, and other courthouse offices, which keeps most local court-record tasks in one downtown building.

Randolph County Clerk Duties
The Clerk's court-record role is broad. MyCase can show public case summaries, but the Clerk remains the local custodian path for official copies and many records that are not posted online. The office accepts filings, collects court-related money, supports the Circuit and Superior Courts, processes marriage-license issuance, receives divorce filings, and handles small claims or eviction filings with the required case number and payment information.
- Receive and maintain filings for Randolph Circuit Court and Randolph Superior Court.
- Help users obtain certified copies or public documents not available online.
- Process marriage-license issuance after the state online application or an in-office application.
- Receive divorce filings and direct users to court forms or Indiana Legal Help resources where linked.
- Collect eligible criminal fines, civil judgments, small claims payments, and filing fees.
Staff listed by the county include Tasha Mock, Darci Calhoun, Sherrie Timmons, Kayleigh Mikolajczyk, and Myranda Caston. Staff lists can change, so clerk communications should use the office phone and published county page rather than relying on a single employee name for a case task.
Request Randolph County Copies
A certified copy is a clerk-issued copy that can be used when a court, agency, school, employer, or other office requires an official record. MyCase may be enough to view a case summary, but it is not the official record. The Clerk is the safer route when the user needs a decree, judgment, disposition, sentencing order, marriage record, or certified case document.
- Search MyCase for the case number, party names, court, and document type.
- Confirm whether the document is posted online or must be requested from the Clerk.
- Contact the Randolph County Clerk by phone, mail, or in person with the case number and document name.
- Ask whether the copy can be certified, what the current copy fee is, and what payment method is accepted.
- Pick up the copy or follow the Clerk's mailing instructions once payment and identity needs are satisfied.
Note: Official Randolph sources did not list certified or plain copy fees, so current amounts should come from the Clerk before mailing payment.
Randolph Clerk Request Fields
The research did not locate a separate Randolph court-record request form with a full field list. The county payment rules and MyCase workflow still show the core data a requester should collect before calling, mailing, or visiting the Clerk. A cause or case number is especially important because the county says it is needed for payments and helps route the request to the correct case.
| Field | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cause or case number | Strongly recommended | Required by county for payments and useful for copy requests. |
| Party names | Yes when no case number | Use full names and business names as shown in MyCase. |
| Court | Yes if known | Randolph Circuit Court, Randolph Superior Court, or city-court identifier. |
| Document type | Yes | Examples include decree, judgment, sentencing order, CCS, or certified marriage copy. |
| Copy type | Yes | Plain or certified copy. |
| Requester contact | Yes | Mailing address and phone help the Clerk resolve fees or access limits. |
Randolph County Clerk Fees
Randolph County publishes several filing and payment details, but not a full certified-copy fee table in the inspected clerk sources. In the office, the county lists cash, money order, cashier's check, and personal check as accepted methods, with an important limit: personal checks cannot be used for criminal payments such as fines and costs. Credit and debit cards are accepted in the office except for child support.
Online payment uses PayGOV.US with Randolph County location code 3744, and the cause number must be included. Card fees are $1.00 for amounts up to $33 or 3.00% for higher amounts, with the same fee rule over the phone. Child support cannot be paid through PayGOV, cannot be paid by debit or credit card in the office, and cannot currently be paid by check in the office.
| Item | Amount or rule |
|---|---|
| Divorce filing | $185.00 as listed by Randolph County |
| Small claims filing | $125 plus $10 each additional defendant |
| Eviction filing | $125 plus $10 each additional defendant |
| Marriage license, Indiana residents | $29 |
| Marriage license, out-of-state residents | $69 |
| Credit/debit card fee | $1.00 up to $33; 3.00% for higher amounts |
| PayGOV location code | 3744 |
| Certified/plain copy fees | Not located in official Randolph Clerk sources |

Payment details matter for clerk record requests because the wrong cause number or child-support payment channel can delay crediting a payment.
Randolph Clerk Marriage Divorce
Marriage licenses are issued through the Randolph County Clerk. Applicants may start at the Indiana courts marriage portal, then both applicants must appear at the Clerk's Office to complete issuance. If applicants do not have internet access, the county says the entire application can be completed in the Clerk's Office. Required identity proof includes options such as a signed or sealed birth certificate, valid driver's license, passport, military ID, service discharge, or judicial decree.
Divorce filings also go through the Clerk. The county divorce page says a dissolution of marriage begins by filing a petition and can be granted only by court decree. Both Circuit and Superior Courts may conduct divorce proceedings. MyCase can help identify the case number and docket events, but domestic-relations documents are more restricted online than many civil case records.

Marriage and divorce tasks show why the Clerk page overlaps with both court records and family records in Randolph County.
Randolph Clerk Small Claims
Small claims and eviction filings use the Clerk and Randolph Superior Court forms. The county small-claims page states that small claims are for $10,000 or less. Venue may be where the transaction occurred, where an obligation was incurred or performed, where the defendant resides, or where the defendant works. Eviction requires a written ten-day notice before filing.

Small claims and eviction records are court records, but filing details and fee handling run through the Clerk's Office.
