About Minnesota Official Records
Finding public records in Minnesota shouldn't feel like a wild goose chase. That's the whole reason this site exists. We built it to point people toward the right office, the right database, and the right phone number so they can track down what they need without wasting half a day on dead ends.
Why We Built This
Public records belong to everyone. The law says so. But getting your hands on them is a different story. Between 87 counties, 10 judicial districts, and a handful of state agencies that all keep different records, it can take a while just to figure out where to start looking. We wanted to cut through that mess.
Whether you need a court filing from Hennepin County or a vital record from the Department of Health, we try to give you a clear path to the source. No runaround.
What You'll Find Here
- County Pages: Contact details, office hours, and phone numbers for District Courts and Court Administrators across all 87 Minnesota counties
- City Pages: Info on which county court serves your city and how to reach them
- Record Guides: Plain-language explanations of how different record types work in Minnesota, including what you can access and what might be restricted
- Search Tools: Links to third-party search services that scan public records databases
What This Site Is Not
We are a private website. We have zero connection to any government office or agency. We don't hold records, and there are several things we simply can't do:
- File documents or pull official records for you
- Hand out certified copies of anything
- Give legal advice or tell you what to do about your case
- Promise that every phone number or address on our site is still current
Whenever you need a document with an official seal on it, go straight to the government office that issued it. We can tell you which office that is, but we can't get the document for you.
About Our Search Partners
Some links on our pages lead to paid search services run by outside companies. Those companies set their own prices and handle their own billing. We may earn a small referral fee if you use one of those services. That's part of how we keep this site free for everyone to use. We don't control what those services charge or what they return in their results.
Keeping Things Current
Government offices change phone numbers, move to new buildings, and update their hours. We do our best to keep up, but we can't catch every change the moment it happens. If you plan to drive to a courthouse, call first to make sure they're open and can help you with what you need.
