The 4-Step Clark County Records Pathway
1
Step 1 — Start at the Clark County clerk/courthouse
For most local records (court cases, property deeds, marriage licenses), the Clark County clerk's office is the first stop.
2
Step 2 — Use the Indiana statewide systems
Criminal background, court case search, voter registration, and professional licensing are all run at the Indiana state level — not by the county.
3
Step 3 — Federal sources for federal records
Federal court cases (PACER), federal tax liens (IRS), military records (NPRC), and immigration data (ICE) are all federal — not held by the county.
4
Step 4 — Cross-check before relying on data
Most county portals lag 24-48 hours behind the courthouse. For time-sensitive verification, call the clerk directly.
Five Things People Get Wrong About Clark County Records
❌ Myth: "Clark County maintains all criminal records."
✓ Truth: False. Criminal records for Clark County are held by the Indiana state repository, NOT the county. The county sheriff has only the local arrest log.
❌ Myth: "Records sealed in Clark County are gone everywhere."
✓ Truth: False. Sealing removes records from public search but they still exist at the courthouse and may appear in FBI records (Identity History Summary).
❌ Myth: "Free 'instant background' sites have Clark County data."
✓ Truth: False. Only the official Indiana state repository has verified, current Clark County data. Free sites often have stale data.
❌ Myth: "The Clark County assessor's value is what I'll sell my home for."
✓ Truth: False. The Clark County assessor's value is for property tax purposes only — usually below market value.
❌ Myth: "All county records older than 50 years are public."
✓ Truth: Partially false. Public-records rules vary by record type AND state. Court records and deeds are usually older-public; vital records remain restricted longer (often 75-125 years).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up court cases in Clark County?
Clark County court cases are searchable through the Indiana Courts Case Search - MyCase portal: https://public.courts.in.gov/mycase/. Indiana also operates a state-level case lookup through the Odyssey Case Search system. For federal matters, see PACER.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Indiana?
Yes — in Indiana, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Indiana?
Yes. Search the court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Indiana counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
What's the difference between a court record and a criminal record in Indiana?
A court record shows everything filed in a specific case — pleadings, motions, judgments. A criminal record (rap sheet) is a person-centric history from the Indiana State Police that aggregates arrests and dispositions across all courts in Indiana. Court records are searched by case; criminal records by person.
