| Florida Courts – St. Johns County | Court location and judicial administration information | Provides court information; direct record requests go through the Clerk |
| FDLE Criminal History Record Check | Florida name-based and fingerprint-based criminal-history requests | Covers Florida records, not federal or out-of-state records; it is different from a local court-case search |

Obtaining StJohns County Criminal Court Documents and Certified Copies
Viewing case information differs from obtaining a court document. A certified copy of a specific court document is also different from a certified Florida criminal-history report.
| What you need | Appropriate official route |
|---|---|
| Ordinary copy of a specific criminal court document | Request it through the St. Johns County Clerk of Court online, by mail, or in person |
| Certified copy of a specific criminal court document | Request a certified copy from the Clerk for an eligible, non-confidential document |
| Statewide Florida criminal-history check | Submit a request through the FDLE Criminal History Record Check service |
| Certified Florida criminal-history report | Use the FDLE service and select the certified-report option when needed for an official purpose |
For a StJohns County court-document request:

- Gather the case number, party name, and specific document requested.
- Specify whether you need an ordinary copy or a certified court-document copy.
- Submit the request through the Clerk’s documented online, mail, or in-person route.
Certified court-document copies are available only for documents that are not confidential or sealed. Requests involving sealed or expunged records require a court order.
