• Case Documentation: Forwarding case documents to criminal court when an alleged delinquent child is prosecuted as an adult under state law O.C.G.A. § 15-11-30.02.

Clerk’s Office Records

Juvenile Court records are confidential, and as such, the Clerk’s Office staff cannot disclose case information to most members of the public who are not directly involved in a case. Additionally, no case information can be provided over the phone, even to involved parties.

If you are a party to a case and need copies of filings, you must visit the office in person and present a valid photo identification (e.g., driver’s license, state-issued ID, military ID).
