Why We Built This Site
Alabama gives the public broad access to many court and government records, but the correct custodian depends on the record. The Covington County Circuit Clerk handles District Court and Circuit Court trial files. The Probate Office handles probate cases, marriage records, recording records, and land records. Municipal courts in Andalusia, Opp, and Florala handle city ordinance, traffic, and misdemeanor matters. The Sheriff's Department and jail handle custody and law-enforcement records. This site brings those separate paths into a single local reference.
What You Will Find Here
- Records pages by type: court records, arrest records and charges, inmate records, warrant records, marriage and divorce, probate, and more

- Public records help: local routing for Alabama public-record requests, certified copies, paid search systems, and records that may be sealed or restricted
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Alabama court, clerk's office, sheriff's office, probate office, municipal court, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
