Where an Official Request Goes
Use Missouri Case.net for the public statewide case index. For a court-held copy, send the clerk a focused request that gives the case number, case style, approximate filing date, specific document or docket requested, whether certification is needed, and delivery details.
- For a current setting, check Case.net and confirm with the assigned division clerk.
- For a certified docket, judgment, order, or filing, contact the Circuit Clerk.
- For an older public electronic item, ask about the courthouse public-access terminal.
- For an Ava municipal question, start with the citation or City Hall to identify the responsible municipal custodian.
- For a federal case, use the Western District of Missouri and PACER rather than Case.net.
