Search Randolph County Court Records

Randolph County Court Record Search

The main online path for Randolph County court records is Indiana Courts Case Search, also known as MyCase. Randolph Circuit Court and Randolph Superior Court are Odyssey courts, and the official Odyssey list identifies them as 68C01 Randolph Circuit Court and 68D01 Randolph Superior Court. MyCase can also show archived or local identifiers, including abolished Randolph County Court and the Randolph/Union City City Court identifier.

MyCase is a lookup tool, not the official court record. The official record must come from the court that keeps the case. For Randolph County, that usually means Randolph County Clerk Jacqueline Peed's office or the Circuit or Superior Court office at the Winchester courthouse. Use the online portal first to find the case number, court, party names, filing date, and hearing history. Then ask the Clerk for certified copies or for public documents that are not online.

The official MyCase help page explains account, captcha, and payment issues. It is useful when a Randolph County court record shows a payment button or when a search returns too many results.

1. Open MyCase and choose case, party, or attorney search.
2. For a case search, enter the case number, citation number, or cross-reference number.
3. For a party search, use last name plus first name, middle name, or date of birth to narrow Randolph County matches.
4. Use open or closed status and file-date filters when a common name returns too many cases.
5. Open the case summary and review the court, case type, parties, chronological case summary, hearings, filings, financials, and disposition.
6. Contact the Randolph County Clerk if the needed record is not online or if a certified copy is required.

The Indiana Courts Case Search landing page is the starting point for most Randolph County court records searches.

Use the case details from the portal as a map to the maintaining court before requesting official Randolph County court records.

Randolph County Court Search Fields

MyCase has several search paths. The official MyCase search tips recommend using more than one identifier when possible. A date of birth may help search, but it is not displayed in public case details because birth dates are excluded from public access. No search returns more than 1,000 results, so broad Randolph County name searches may need date or status filters.

The MyCase search tips page shows how party, attorney, wildcard, and advanced filters work.

Those search rules matter in Randolph County because similar names can appear in Circuit Court, Superior Court, and older local court identifiers.

Randolph County Court Record Types

Randolph County has a Circuit Court and a Superior Court at the courthouse in Winchester. The Indiana Judicial Branch Randolph County page links local rules, MyCase, e-filing, and court contact material. Local rules assign some case types to only one court. That is a key local fact for record searches because a probate or juvenile matter will not follow the same path as a traffic ticket or small claim.

Civil records include complaints, answers, motions, orders, judgments, notices, hearing settings, service entries, garnishments, and proceedings supplemental. Criminal court records include charging information, hearings, pleas, sentencing orders, bond entries, warrants after public issuance, financial obligations, and disposition. Family, probate, traffic, small claims, eviction, and ordinance cases each have their own records and access limits.

• Randolph Circuit Court handles supervised estates, unsupervised estates, guardianships, trusts, adoption, mental health, murder, and many juvenile categories.
• Randolph Superior Court handles misdemeanors, infractions, ordinance violations, small claims, Title 9 traffic cases, and many Level 6 felonies.
• Level 1 through Level 5 felonies are split between the courts by month of commission under Randolph local rules.
• Union City City Court appears as a local Odyssey identifier, while Winchester City Court is treated as abolished in the Odyssey list.

The MyCase document access guide explains which case documents may be online and which usually require clerk access.

For Randolph County court records, the online case summary and the available document list should be read separately because not every public document is downloadable.

What Randolph County Records Show

A Randolph County court record often includes a chronological case summary, or CCS. The CCS is the event log for the case. It may show filings, notices, hearings, orders, judgments, payments, and dispositions. In criminal matters, sentencing orders are generally online when public, but many other non-confidential criminal documents require in-person access through the clerk. In domestic-relations cases, online document access can be more limited.

The Indiana Judicial Branch public records hub links MyCase, protection-order, guardianship, traffic ticket, DOC, jail, marriage, and local clerk resources.

That hub is useful when a Randolph County matter crosses from court records into jail, marriage, traffic payment, or state correction records.

Public Access in Randolph County

Indiana public access starts with the rule that public records are open unless law or court rule excludes them. The general state framework is the Access to Public Records Act in Indiana Code Title 5. Court records also follow the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records, which control public access, redaction, excluded records, and requests to see otherwise excluded material.

Randolph County court users should separate online public access from official access. MyCase can show a free public summary. The official record remains with the court. Certified copies, plain copies of documents not available online, and questions about sealed or restricted material go through Randolph County Clerk Jacqueline Peed's office or the court that maintains the file. Sheriff Art L. Moystner's office is relevant for jail, arrest, and law-enforcement records, but court case files are maintained by the clerk and courts.

The Indiana Access to Court Records rules identify public and excluded court records.

Those rules explain why a case may appear in MyCase while a document, identifier, or party detail is not available to the public.

Restricted Randolph County Records

Some Randolph County court records are public only in part, or not public at all. Juvenile CHINS, delinquency, status, termination, paternity, and miscellaneous matters are assigned to Circuit Court and are restricted by juvenile law and court rules. Adoption and mental-health cases are also Circuit Court matters and are generally confidential. Protection-order cases are not in ordinary MyCase public search because protected-party identifying information is excluded from online access.

Sealed and expunged criminal records have a different path. Indiana Code Title 35 governs expungement and restriction of eligible arrest or conviction records. A petitioner usually searches MyCase first to identify the case number, court, charge level, and disposition. If an order is granted, public-facing systems should restrict release according to the order and statute. Law enforcement, courts, prosecutors, and some authorized entities may still have limited access depending on the record type.

Randolph County Clerk Requests

The local fallback for Randolph County court records is the Clerk's Office in the courthouse. The county identifies Jacqueline Peed as Randolph County Clerk and Randolph Circuit Court Clerk. The office is in Room 201 on the second floor. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm, closed federal holidays. Bring or provide the cause number when possible. The county says a cause or case number is needed for payments.

Accepted in-office payment methods include cash, money order, cashier's check, and personal check, but 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 payments, with a service fee. Online payment through PayGOV uses Randolph County location code 3744. Child support has separate payment restrictions.

The MyCase help and payment guidance explains when online payment is available.

Payment links are case-specific, so the Randolph County Clerk remains the contact when a payment or copy request cannot be completed online.
