Before You Visit

The Clerk’s Office has five locations to serve the citizens of Orange County.

The type and availability of parking depends on which Clerk location you are planning to visit. 

Orange County Courthouse
Parking is available in the courthouse parking garage and on the street with metered parking. There are two entrances for the parking garage, one on Orange Ave. and the other on Magnolia Ave. A fee is required to park in either the courthouse parking garage or on the street with metered parking. A parking fee schedule is available from the City of Orlando.

Those using public transportation can avoid the parking fee and jurors can bring their parking ticket with them for validation.

For more information on public transportation in and around downtown Orlando, visit the LYNX website.

Branch & Service Center Locations
The Clerk’s Office has three branch and/or service center locations throughout Orange County. There is ample free parking at each of these locations.

For more information on our locations, including maps and directions, visit the Locations section of our website.

The Clerk’s my eClerk website provides remote public access to many of the court records managed by our office - free of charge. Consider searching my eClerk before coming to the courthouse or submitting a record request.

The Orange County Clerk of Courts maintains a wide range of court records and documents. If you are in need of court case information, consider using my eClerk to search cases or contact our office directly.

If you are looking for deeds, leases, bills of sale, mortgages, notices or claims of lien, notices of levy, tax warrants or any other items relating to the ownership of real or personal property, please contact the Orange County Comptroller, Property Appraiser or Tax Collector.

If you are coming to the courthouse, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Clerk’s customer service locations.

For many customers, coming to one of our locations is not always necessary in order to make a payment. We offer several options for paying a fine or fee remotely.

All of our locations are passport application centers.

We work on behalf of the U.S. Department of State to process passport applications. Because of this, there are two separate fees to be paid when applying for a passport, one to the U.S. Department of State and one to the Clerk’s Office, with different accepted forms of payment for each.

Accepted Forms of Payment - U.S. Department of State 
Personal check, cashier's check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of State.

Accepted Forms of Payment - Clerk’s Office 
Cash, money order, cashier's check (payable to the Orange County Clerk of Courts) and all major credit cards.

• Certified copy of your birth certificate (must include parent’s full names)
• Certificate of naturalization

• Valid driver's license

In some instances, valid photo identification is required in order to view certain case information.

If You are a Party to the Case and Wish to View Physical Court File
You are required to go to the division in the courthouse where your case originated and present valid photo identification to request the physical file. For example, if your case is criminal in nature, you must go to the Criminal Division to request to review the file. The same applies for Civil, Family, Probate/Mental Health and Traffic cases.

Requesting Juvenile Case Information
Due to strict confidentiality laws regarding juvenile cases, information regarding juvenile cases can only be made available to the juvenile, parent or guardian, attorney for parent or child, and select government officials with valid photo identification. Case information cannot be given over the telephone. 

All requests for juvenile case information must be accompanied by a legible copy of photo identification.
