Search Randolph County Traffic Court Records
Randolph County traffic court records are searched through Indiana Courts Case Search, also called MyCase. Randolph Superior Court is the main local traffic venue for infractions and Title 9 traffic matters unless the ticket is tied to a felony filing. MyCase allows a search by case number, citation number, party name, or attorney. It can show the public case summary, chronological case summary, court dates, financial entries, and a payment link when the case is eligible for online payment.
The official MyCase search tips are useful when a Randolph County traffic citation lookup returns too many results. Name searches work better with a last name plus first name or date of birth. Date of birth can narrow a search, but it is not displayed in public case details. MyCase also caps broad result sets, so a citation number or case number is the cleaner route when the ticket is in hand.
The Indiana State Police traffic-ticket page is a source for one important payment rule: ISP does not take ticket payments. Payment goes to the county where the ticket was issued. For a Randolph County ticket, start with MyCase, Randolph Superior Court, or the Randolph County Clerk payment channels.
The Indiana State Police traffic-ticket guidance is shown in the manifest image below from the official source at ISP traffic tickets.
That state guidance supports the local path: use the county court or clerk, not the issuing state police agency, for Randolph County traffic ticket payment questions.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citation Number | Text | Optional alternative | Use the citation or ticket number when known. |
| Case Number | Text | Optional alternative | Use the Indiana uniform case number if MyCase or the court supplied one. |

| Date of Birth | Date | Optional | Used for search only and not displayed publicly. |
| Case Status | Filter | No | Open or closed. |

Randolph County Traffic Court Venue
Randolph County local rules place infractions, local ordinance violations, exempted ordinance violations, and all Title 9 offenses in Randolph Superior Court unless those charges are part of a felony case assigned elsewhere. Title 9 is the Indiana motor-vehicle title, so the local rule covers ordinary traffic tickets as well as serious vehicle offenses, including homicide with a motor vehicle. When a citation is part of a felony filing, the case may follow the felony assignment rules instead of staying as a stand-alone Superior Court traffic matter.
Older city-ticket paths need care. The official Odyssey court list includes Randolph/Winchester City Court and Randolph/Union City City Court identifiers. Winchester City Court is treated as abolished in the Odyssey listing, while Union City City Court remains a local court identifier. If a driver is trying to resolve an older Winchester ticket or a Union City matter, the best fallback is MyCase plus the Randolph County Clerk or the court shown on the ticket.
| Court or Office | Traffic Role | Contact Point |
|---|---|---|
| Randolph Superior Court | Infractions, ordinance violations, small claims, and all Title 9 offenses unless tied to a felony filing. | 100 South Main Street, 3rd Floor, Winchester, IN 47394; (765) 584-3309. |
| Randolph Circuit Court | Felony-related traffic matters when assignment rules send the whole case to Circuit Court. | 100 South Main Street, Room 301, Winchester, IN 47394; (765) 584-4011 or (765) 584-0645. |
| Randolph County Clerk | Payments, case numbers, certified copies, and document requests for court records not available online. | 100 S. Main St., Room 201, Winchester, IN 47394; (765) 584-4903. |
| Union City City Court identifier | Potential local city-court traffic records listed in Odyssey. | Union City main municipal address: 105 N Columbia St, Union City, IN 47390; city phone (765) 964-6534. |
Randolph County Traffic Record Fields
A Randolph County traffic court record is the court file for the citation. It is narrower than a full driver history and more formal than the paper ticket in a glove box. The court file can show the charge, court date, disposition, fine, costs, payment status, and any failure-to-appear or warrant entries. MyCase is not the official court record, so certified copies and missing documents come from the maintaining court or clerk.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Citation number | The ticket number used to connect the stop, charge, and court case. |
| Case number | The MyCase or Indiana court number assigned after filing. |
| Charge or statute | The traffic offense, ordinance, infraction class, or Title 9 offense listed by the court. |
| Court date | Hearing, initial appearance, or compliance dates shown in the case summary. |
| Plea or disposition | Whether the matter was paid, dismissed, amended, resolved by plea, or set for further hearing. |
| Fine, costs, and payment status | Financial entries, balances, or payment events when public. |
| Failure to appear | Missed court events that may affect warrants or license consequences. |
Note: Public MyCase information may lag or omit documents, so official copies must come from the Randolph County Clerk or court.
Pay or Contest Randolph County Tickets
Payment depends on the case. The MyCase help page says an online payment option appears only when the case has a "Make a payment" link. If that option is absent, online payment through MyCase is not available for that case. Randolph County also lists local payment channels for criminal fines and civil judgments, including PayGOV, phone payment, and in-office payment through the Clerk.
The ePay path assigned in the manifest is the Indiana public access payment portal at publicaccess.courts.in.gov/pay.
Use the ePay or MyCase payment route only when the case itself shows payment availability; otherwise use Randolph County Clerk instructions.
- Read the citation for the court, due date, appearance requirement, and payment instructions.
- Search MyCase by citation number, case number, or name to confirm the Randolph County traffic case.
- If "Make a payment" appears, use the state ePay or MyCase route for eligible court fees and fines.
- If no online option appears, use the Randolph County Clerk or PayGOV instructions and include the cause or case number.
- To contest the ticket, follow the citation or court instructions for a hearing or not-guilty response. Ignoring the case can create failure-to-appear problems.
- For license consequences, review the separate Indiana BMV driver record because the court case and driver history are not the same file.
Traffic Records vs BMV Driver Records
Randolph County traffic court records and Indiana BMV driver records answer different questions. The court record tells what happened in the local case: charge, hearing, fine, disposition, and payment. The Indiana BMV driver record tracks license status, convictions reported to the BMV, suspensions, points, and driver-history data. A driver may need both files to understand a ticket's court status and license effect.
| Point of Comparison | Court Traffic Record | State Driver Record |
|---|---|---|
| Record source | Randolph Superior Court, Randolph County Clerk, or another court shown on the ticket. | Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. |
| What it shows | Citation, case number, court dates, charge, disposition, fines, costs, and payment status. | License status, reported convictions, suspensions, points, and driver-history data. |
| Where to access | MyCase, the court, or the Clerk for official copies. | BMV driver record service. |
| How to correct errors | Contact the court or Clerk if the case entry is wrong. | Contact BMV if the driver-history entry is wrong after court disposition is confirmed. |
Randolph County CDL and DUI Traffic
Commercial drivers should treat Randolph County traffic citations as both court and license issues. A payment or conviction may be reported outside the county court file and can affect a CDL through BMV or federal reporting rules. The court record can show the local charge and disposition, but the driver record is the better source for license status, points, and administrative action.
DUI, operating while intoxicated, and vehicle homicide issues can move beyond routine traffic court. Randolph local rules send all Title 9 offenses to Superior Court unless they are tied to felony filings, and serious charges may appear as criminal cases. The full case file, hearings, sentence, and criminal disposition are better handled through Randolph County criminal court records when the traffic stop becomes a criminal prosecution.
Title 9 matters: Randolph local rules expressly include all Title 9 offenses, including homicide with a motor vehicle, in the Superior Court assignment unless felony-related rules apply.
Randolph County Traffic Access and Fees
Traffic court records are public when they are not confidential, sealed, expunged, or otherwise restricted by court rule. Indiana Code Title 5, Article 14, Chapter 3 supplies the general public-records framework for public agencies, while the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records govern court records. Rule 5 identifies records excluded from public access, and Rule 9 supplies a procedure to seek access to excluded court records. Expungement and restricted criminal-record release rules are in Indiana Code Title 35.
Randolph County published fee details are stronger for payments than for traffic copy fees. The Randolph County Clerk page and payment guidance list card service fees and payment channels, but current plain-copy and certified-copy amounts were not located in official Randolph clerk sources. For copy fees, call the Clerk before mailing a request or visiting the courthouse.
| Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| Local online/card fee | $1.00 for amounts up to $33, or 3.00% for higher amounts. |
| PayGOV location code | 3744, with cause or case number required. |
| Trial de novo bond, Class C infraction or traffic ordinance violation | $500 plus statutory costs. |
| Trial de novo bond, Class B infraction | $1,000 plus statutory costs. |
| Trial de novo bond, Class A infraction and non-traffic ordinance violation | $1,500 plus statutory costs. |
| Current ticket-specific fine and costs | Depends on the citation and court entry. Use MyCase or the court. |
| Plain or certified traffic record copies | Specific Randolph copy fees were not located in official clerk sources. |
