Clayton County Criminal Records

Identify the Clayton County court before ordering a copy

Clayton County, Georgia, and Clayton County, Iowa, have separate court systems. Match the state and court on the summons, judgment or case reference before using a county service.

Complete a Georgia Superior Court electronic-copy order

The Superior Court clerk’s eCertification instructions cover both regular and certified court-record copies. This service is a document-ordering route; selecting a county does not order a statewide criminal-history report.

1. 01
   Create the request

   Register, sign in and choose Submit a New Request. Select the county holding the record, document type and regular or certified copy, then complete the required fields.

2. 02
   Return for payment authorization

   After clerk processing, a request may show Awaiting Payment Final Authorization. Open that status and follow the payment prompts; the initial request alone does not finish the purchase.

3. 03
   Retain the delivered document

   After payment is finalized, the final email supplies an authentication link and the purchased certified document. Save the secured PDF for later use. The county lists 770-477-4565 for questions about this service.

• ✓
  Correct proceeding

  Compare the state, court and case reference, not just the defendant’s name. A similarly named person or a separate prosecution can produce a misleading match.

• ✓
  Correct stage

  An accusation or docket entry does not establish a conviction. If you need the outcome, identify the disposition or judgment you are seeking instead of ordering an unspecified criminal record.

• ✓
  Correct copy format

  Ask the receiving organization whether a regular copy is sufficient or certification is needed. Confirm the applicable charge and format with the supplying clerk; Georgia’s electronic-copy steps do not establish Iowa’s fees or procedure.
