Civil records can include civil plenary, civil tort, civil collection, mortgage foreclosure, small claims, evictions, tax deeds and tax sales, judgments, garnishments, and miscellaneous civil matters. Criminal records can include felony and misdemeanor cases, charging documents, chronological case summary entries, hearings, pleas, dispositions, sentencing, bonds, and financial obligations.
- Civil, small claims, eviction, foreclosure, judgment, and collection files.
- Criminal felony, misdemeanor, miscellaneous criminal, charge, bond, and sentencing records.
- Probate, estate, trust, guardianship, and related protective proceeding records.

Search Hendricks County Clerk Records
The main online channel for Hendricks County court records is MyCase. The Indiana Judicial Branch Hendricks County page and the Hendricks County Courts page both link to public case search. MyCase covers Indiana courts using Odyssey, which includes Hendricks Circuit and Superior Courts and the town courts listed in the court dropdown. Public users may search non-confidential case information and many online public documents free of charge.
| MyCase field | Use for Clerk records | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case Number | Known court file | Best for certified-copy requests and exact matches. |
| Citation Number | Traffic ticket | Useful for infraction and ordinance matters. |
| Last, First, Middle | Person search | Use sounds-like when names may vary. |
| Business Name | Company or organization | Can locate civil, collection, or other business-party records. |
| Court dropdown | Hendricks County filter | Includes Hendricks County, Avon, Brownsburg, and Plainfield town courts. |
| Status and File Date | Advanced filter | Can narrow open, closed, and date-range searches. |
MyCase is not the official record. The MyCase help page states that displayed information may have errors or omissions, and official records must be obtained from the court maintaining the record. For Hendricks County trial court files, that official copy route generally means the Clerk of the Circuit and Superior Courts.
Hendricks County Clerk Request Methods
A clerk request should identify the record well enough for staff to find it. The research file did not locate a separate Hendricks Clerk copy-request form with fixed fields, so the field inventory below is built from the MyCase search fields and the details a clerk needs for a court-document request. For law-enforcement incident, crash, body-camera, or sheriff records, the request goes to the Sheriff's Office instead of the clerk.
| Request field | Required | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | Best if known | Gives the clerk the fastest match to the official file. |
| Party names | Yes | Needed for name searches in civil, criminal, family, probate, and traffic cases. |
| Record type | Yes | Examples include decree, order, judgment, letters, charging information, or marriage copy. |
| Court or case type | If known | Hendricks Circuit, Superior, probate, traffic, divorce, or town-court routing can matter. |
| Filing or event date | If known | Helps narrow older or common-name records. |
| Certified or plain copy | Yes | Certified copies require clerk authentication and may have a different fee. |
| Return contact and delivery method | Yes | Needed for pickup, mail, phone follow-up, or fee confirmation. |
In-person service is available at the clerk counter during posted hours. By phone, use 317-745-9231 to confirm copy fees, current balances, and whether a record can be released. The state directory lists fax 317-745-9306. When a document is missing from MyCase, the clerk is the fallback for public court documents.
Request Hendricks County Certified Copies
Certified copies are used when a plain online image or public search result will not prove the legal status of a record. Common examples include a divorce decree, judgment, probate letters, estate order, name-change order, criminal disposition, or certified marriage license copy. MyCase can help identify the case, but certification must come from the clerk.
- Search MyCase or the marriage lookup to find the case number, license details, party names, court, and filing year.
- Call or visit the Clerk of the Circuit and Superior Courts to confirm the record is public and available for certification.
- State the exact document needed, such as final divorce decree, order, judgment, letters testamentary, or certified marriage license copy.
- Ask for the current fee. For court-case certified copies, the Hendricks-specific fee was not located in the official clerk page.
- Provide pickup or mailing information and any proof of authority if the record is restricted or party-limited.
Note: A certified marriage license copy is listed at $4 each in the statewide marriage instructions; other certified court-copy amounts should be confirmed with the clerk.
Hendricks County Clerk Fees
The research file located several marriage-license fees from the Indiana Judicial Branch but did not locate a Hendricks-specific public table for ordinary court-case copies, certified copies, or clerk search fees. The page should not borrow amounts from other counties. For fees not listed below, confirm the amount with the Clerk of the Circuit and Superior Courts before sending payment or appearing for service.
| Clerk service | Amount or status |
|---|---|
| Indiana resident marriage license | $25 |
| Out-of-state residents marrying in Indiana | $65 |
| Certified marriage license copy | $4 each |
| Possible additional document fee | $4 in some counties; Hendricks-specific extra fee not located |
| Court-case copies | Confirm with the Clerk |
| Certified court-case copies | Confirm with the Clerk |
| Current court financial balance | Confirm with the Clerk because MyCase balances may be incomplete |
Marriage, Tax Warrants, and Payments
The clerk page links marriage-license application resources, tax warrant search resources through mycourts.in.gov, and online court payment options. It also notes that online court payments through the clerk's Allpaid or GovPayNow link are not for child support payments. Child support, judgment, and probation payments are listed as clerk services, but users should follow the specific payment channel tied to the obligation.
Marriage processing has a narrower daily window than general clerk hours. Applicants should plan around the posted 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. marriage-license processing window and bring the identity and eligibility documents required by Indiana. Tax warrants and payment balances should be checked through the official state or clerk channels named by the Hendricks County Clerk, not through a third-party lookup.
Hendricks County Clerk App
The research file notes a Hendricks County Clerk mobile app in the Apple App Store and Google Play. The app listings advertise court records, marriage licenses, child support and case payments, jury duty, courtroom procedures, election dates, voter registration, and tax warrants. The app is an extra access channel, not a replacement for the clerk office when a certified copy, official balance, restricted record review, or in-person marriage-license appearance is required.
The app can be useful for quick links, but official court records still come from the court or clerk maintaining the file. When MyCase, the app, or online payment information conflicts with clerk records, the clerk's official record and current balance should control.
