Access Kosciusko County Clerk Records

Kosciusko County Clerk Office

Kosciusko County uses a unified Clerk of the Circuit and Superior Courts. The State Court Structure Map identifies the office by that full name because the same Clerk serves the local Circuit Court and Superior Courts. The official Clerk materials identify Melissa Boggs as County Clerk, and the court-record request form lists Melissa Boggs, Clerk, and Ann Torpy, Chief Deputy. The Clerk is an elected county official and an officer of the courts.

The official Kosciusko County Clerk page describes the Clerk as the manager of court information and the administrator of official court records for all trial-court cases with jurisdiction in Kosciusko County. The office prepares permanent historical court records, processes documents for court cases, collects court costs and fines, issues marriage licenses, processes traffic violations, maintains judgment records, prepares certified court copies, and also performs election duties.

The Clerk public-records source is captured from the Kosciusko Clerk public records page.

That page supports the court-copy, marriage-record, certification, CCS, and support-payment-history fee details.

Kosciusko Clerk Duties

The Clerk's role is broader than a records counter. The same office receives new trial-court filings, keeps case records, collects money owed in court matters, handles marriage licenses, and processes traffic violations. It also collects and distributes child-support payments and judgment monies. Those duties explain why the same Clerk page can matter for a criminal docket, a civil judgment, a marriage copy, a support payment history, a traffic ticket, or a certified court order.

• Receipts court costs, fines, and fees for all court cases.
• Files and processes all new cases filed within the Kosciusko Circuit and Superior Courts.
• Issues and processes marriage licenses and maintains Kosciusko County marriage records.
• Processes traffic violations and helps with court fine and judgment payments.
• Maintains judgment records, judgment docket entries, and support payment histories.
• Prepares certified copies of court documents.
• Handles voter registration, absentee voting, and election management duties.

Request a Certified Copy

Certified copies are used when an agency, employer, insurer, court, title company, Social Security office, or other third party needs official proof. The Clerk's court-record copy form tells requesters to ask for a certified copy when a copy is for legal purposes such as Social Security, insurance, or employment. A certified copy is different from a portal printout because the Clerk certifies the document as an official court copy.

1. Search MyCase or contact the Clerk to identify the case number, party names, and document type if those details are not known.
2. Use the Clerk's Request for Copies of a Court Record form when an actual copy or certified copy is needed.
3. List the parties, case number if known, document type, filing or order date, number of copies, and whether certification is needed.
4. Mail the printed form to Clerk of Kosciusko Circuit & Superior Courts, 121 N Lake Street, Room D162, Warsaw, IN 46580.
5. Pay by money order only, payable to Kosciusko County Clerk, and include a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Note: The official form states that personal checks are not accepted.

Records Request Form Fields

The printable court-record copy form is for copies and certified copies. It is more specific than a general public-records request because it asks for party names, case number, document type, filing or order date, and copy counts. Those fields help the Clerk identify the exact court document. If the case number is unknown, MyCase can help find case-number information, or the Clerk can be called for direction.

Online Clerk Records Request

The county also provides an online public records request form. This route is useful for general public information requests and for asking the county to identify or provide records. The research notes that email requests are not processed until payment has been made, so online submission does not remove the fee and payment step for copies.

The online form source is included from the Clerk online records request form.

That form is the county's local request tool, while Indiana's public-record framework is the statewide access rule set.

Kosciusko Clerk Fee Schedule

The Clerk fee schedule combines copy fees, certification charges, support history fees, and court filing fees. The copy charges are the most common record-user fees. Filing fees matter when a person is reviewing case categories such as dissolution, estate, trust, guardianship, small claims, foreclosure, civil tort, or expungement. Sheriff service and post-judgment service charges may also appear in civil or post-judgment work.

The Indiana fee-law source appears in the manifest from Indiana Code Title 33.

The local fee page applies those fee categories to Kosciusko County records and filings.

Kosciusko Clerk Access Channels

A complete Clerk record search uses the correct channel for the need. MyCase is best for public trial-court case data and case-number research. The printable copy form is best for actual copies, certified copies, CCS copies, and legal-purpose documents. The online public-records request form is best for general records requests. Phone contact is best when the case number, payment status, certification need, or traffic deadline is unclear.

Court fines and judgments may be paid online through PayGov when the payer has the full name and case number. Traffic tickets have separate instructions and should be verified with the traffic desk before payment. Records not available online should be requested from the Clerk in the county where the case is being heard, which is the Kosciusko Clerk for Kosciusko Circuit and Superior Court cases.
