Florida court records are filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court / County Court handles trial-level cases. Florida offers a statewide court search through CCIS (Comprehensive Case Information System), which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: Florida state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use CCIS (Comprehensive Case Information System) for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: CCIS (Comprehensive Case Information System) covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Florida (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
