Anderson Circuit Court Clerk
Kentucky's map for Anderson County makes the Circuit Court Clerk the primary clerk for court case records. Kentucky Court of Justice identifies Pamela J. Robinson as Anderson County Circuit Court Clerk. The office is the starting point for Circuit, Family, District, and Business Court case records filed in Anderson County. KCOJ also states that the Administrative Office of the Courts does not maintain court case records for local cases, so a copy or review request starts with the clerk of the court that heard the case.
The County Clerk is separate. Jason Denny's Anderson County Clerk office handles recordings and county clerk public records, including deeds, mortgages, wills, marriage records, liens, delinquent tax records, powers of attorney, elections, and motor vehicle work. That split is the most important clerk fact for Anderson records users: court case files go to the Circuit Court Clerk, while recorded instruments and marriage or will index work go to the County Clerk.

What Anderson Clerks Keep
The Circuit Court Clerk keeps the court case side: filings, dockets, orders, case files, court copies, certified copies, and access guidance for Anderson Circuit, Family, District, and Business Court matters. If a case file is stored outside the office and is still available for public access, KCOJ says the court clerk can identify the records facility and provide case or file locator numbers.
- Circuit Court records include felony, divorce, adoption, contested probate, title, injunction, writ, and larger civil matters.
- Family Court records include dissolution, custody, support, paternity, domestic violence, dependency, adoption, and termination matters.
- District Court records include traffic, misdemeanors, violations, probate of wills, small claims, juvenile, and preliminary felony events.
- County Clerk records include marriages, wills, deeds, mortgages, liens, powers of attorney, military discharges, and delinquent tax records.
The Anderson County Clerk Kentucky.gov page is the public landing page for the separate county recording office.
That page is useful when the desired record is a county recording rather than a court case file.
How to Request a Certified Copy
A certified court copy is used when the requester needs a clerk-certified version of a court record, such as a judgment, divorce decree, disposition, order, or other case document. Online docket printouts and uncertified portal views are not the same thing. For Anderson court case records, call the Circuit Court Clerk before visiting if the case may be old, sealed, expunged, archived, juvenile, adoption-related, or mental-health-related.
- Identify the court and case type: Circuit, Family, District, or Business Court.
- Gather the case number, party names, filing year, hearing date, and document name if known.
- Call the Circuit Court Clerk for Circuit or Family matters and the District number for District matters.
- Ask whether the record is available in the office, archived, sealed, redacted, destroyed by retention schedule, or restricted by law.
- Confirm the current copy cost, certification process, payment method, pickup option, and whether mail handling is available.
Records Request Form Fields
No Anderson-specific court case records form was found in the official research. KCOJ instructs users to request court case records from the clerk of the court that heard the case. For County Clerk open-records requests, Anderson County Clerk accepts the standardized Kentucky Request to Inspect Public Records form and requests by hand delivery, mail, fax, or email.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name and mailing address | Yes | Requester contact information for the Kentucky open-records form. |
| Email address | If applicable | Useful for correspondence and electronic response when allowed. |
| Records to be inspected | Yes | Describe the record sought with enough detail to locate it. |
| Commercial purpose statement | Yes | Requester marks whether the request is or is not for a commercial purpose. |
| Kentucky residency statement | Yes | The form lists allowed residency, business, property, representative, and news-gathering options. |
| Signature and date | Yes | The requester signs and dates the request. |
Anderson Clerk Fees
The research did not locate an Anderson-specific Circuit Court certified-copy fee schedule. KCOJ's Anderson court page lists payment options for court fines and fees as cash, cashier's check, money order, and online ePay. Exact copy and certification charges should be confirmed with the Circuit Court Clerk before ordering. County Clerk recording fees are published and are included here because many users reach the clerk page while trying to distinguish court copies from recorded documents.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Court fines/fees payment options | Cash, cashier's check, money order, and ePay |
| County Clerk noncommercial document copy | $0.50 per copy unless a statutory fee applies |
| County Clerk noncommercial disc, tape, or recording copy | $5.00 per copy |
| County Clerk deed recording | $50 |
| County Clerk mortgage recording | $80 |
| County Clerk will recording | $47 |
The Anderson County Clerk records website is the deeper county-recording source for eCCLIX, forms, recordings, and open-records materials.
Use that site for County Clerk record fees and eCCLIX access, not for Circuit Court case-copy certification.
Common Clerk Forms
Court forms and county clerk forms are housed in different places. Court case forms come from Kentucky Court of Justice legal forms. County Clerk forms and open-records materials are on the Anderson County Clerk records site. The County Clerk open-records policy says a determination is made within five working days from receipt, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, and that fees and postage may need to be paid in advance.
- Kentucky Court of Justice legal forms - court case forms for topics such as probate, expungement, domestic relations, and small claims.
- Anderson County Clerk forms - County Clerk forms and open-records request submission information.
- Anderson eCCLIX access rules - commercial subscription and no-charge private citizen search path.
The County Clerk about page describes Jason Denny, office departments, DocAlert, and County Clerk responsibilities.
Those details matter for users who need recorded instruments or DocAlert rather than court case files.
Mail and Online Filings
For Anderson court cases, online research can start with KYeCourts/CourtNet or the statewide docket search, but record copies still route through the Circuit Court Clerk. For County Clerk recordings, eCCLIX provides online access to many Anderson legal records. The clerk records page says most instrument images are available online from January 2004 to current, deeds are indexed and scanned back to 1966, mortgages are indexed back to 1966, and marriages and wills are indexed and scanned back to 1797.
The County Clerk hours page gives the separate County Clerk lobby and drive-thru hours, including the noon closure and drive-thru limits.
The drive-thru cannot process title work or recordings, so court record and legal recording trips need the right counter.
The Anderson County Clerk forms page lists county clerk forms and open-records submission methods.
For court case records, use the Circuit Court Clerk contact first; for county public records, use the County Clerk form and policy path.
Anderson Clerk Routing
Anderson County has a split clerk environment. The Circuit Court Clerk is the court-record office for Circuit, Family, District, and Business Court cases. The County Clerk is the recording office for marriage licenses, deeds, mortgages, wills, liens, powers of attorney, delinquent tax records, motor vehicle matters, elections, and County Clerk open-records requests. A user who asks the wrong clerk may get delayed even when both offices are close together on South Main Street.
The County Clerk also has two official web presences. The Kentucky.gov page lists hours, departments, contact details, and drive-thru limits. The CountyClerk.us site gives deeper records, eCCLIX, forms, fee, and open-records policy details. That matters for court users because probate, divorce property disputes, judgment enforcement, name history, marriage proof, or title litigation may require both the court case file and a recorded County Clerk document.
