Why We Built This Site
North Carolina makes many court records available to the public, but the correct route is not always obvious. In Wake, one Clerk office holds records for Superior Court and District Court, while case types, buildings, calendars, and direct telephone lines differ. The Portal can show a public Register of Actions, yet it cannot issue a certified copy. The goal is to identify the official search, calendar, Clerk, and record-request channels without confusing a city service record, police report, or federal filing with a Wake court file.
What You Will Find Here
The material focuses on official Wake procedures and access boundaries. It directs a reader to the court or Clerk that holds the underlying record rather than presenting a substitute record.
- Docket information: local context for criminal docket searches and civil docket searches.
- Settings: how the Wake court-date channels work together.
- Lookups: how to use a case lookup by party name or file number.
- Clerk records: how court record searches and certified-copy requests reach the appropriate office.
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference resource. It has no connection to a North Carolina court, government agency, or Clerk office. Only the official custodian can answer or act on a particular case.
- We cannot retrieve an official docket, file, or record for a visitor.
- We cannot change, continue, reset, or confirm a court setting.
- We cannot seal, amend, remove, or otherwise alter a case record.
- We cannot provide certified copies, legal advice, or an interpretation of a specific case.
- We cannot promise that a posted court schedule or fee is unchanged.
For an official or certified Wake court record, contact the Wake County Clerk of Superior Court or the court that maintains the file.
