Casey County Circuit Court Clerk
The Kentucky Court of Justice Casey County page identifies Cameron Cain as the Circuit Court Clerk. The office is located in the Casey County Judicial Center at 231 Courthouse Square in Liberty, with P.O. Box 147 used for mail. KCOJ lists the main Circuit Court Clerk phone as 606-787-6510, the District Court phone as 606-787-6761, and the fax number as 606-787-2497.
Kentucky's court-record request process is clerk-centered. KCOJ says local circuit court clerks manage records of Circuit, Family, District, and Business Courts and are the starting point for case-record copies. That is why the Casey County Circuit Court Clerk page covers more than felony Circuit Court records. The same local office is the starting point for a District Court traffic file, misdemeanor record, routine probate case, divorce decree, felony case, or Family Court matter unless an appellate court or separate agency holds the record.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky official portal is a statewide gateway for Kentucky services and agency information.
That statewide context helps explain why Casey County court records are routed through Kentucky Court of Justice systems instead of a county-built case search site.

Casey County Court Clerk Duties
The Circuit Court Clerk is not the elected county clerk who handles deeds and marriage licenses. For court users, the Circuit Court Clerk is the records gateway for state trial-court case files in Casey County. The office helps route users to the right division, confirms whether a case is held locally or stored elsewhere, and explains how to request plain or certified copies.
- Maintains access channels for Circuit, Family, District, and Business Court case records.
- Helps users identify the court division tied to a criminal, civil, family, probate, or traffic matter.
- Receives court payments by cash, personal check, certified check, money order, and eligible ePay cases.
- Confirms whether older files require a records-facility or KDLA State Records Center process.
- Provides the local contact point for docket, hearing, copy, and certified-copy questions.
The separate Casey County Clerk handles eCCLIX records, land records, marriage licensing, motor vehicles, elections, and delinquent taxes. That office is useful for recorded instruments and marriage licenses, but it is not the court case clerk for felony, divorce, traffic, probate, or civil case files.
The Casey County Clerk online-records page documents eCCLIX access, DOC ALERT, private-user limits, commercial-user access, and e-recording vendors.
That image belongs in the clerk discussion because it reinforces the local distinction between court case files and county clerk indexed records.
Request Casey Court Certified Copies
A certified copy is a court copy that carries official certification from the issuing court office. Certified copies may be needed for legal filings, licensing, benefits, name changes, divorce proof, or other formal uses. The research did not locate a Casey-specific court-copy fee schedule, so users should confirm current costs with the clerk before mailing payment or visiting the judicial center.
- Identify the court and division: Circuit, Family, District, or Business Court.
- Gather party names, case number if known, filing year, hearing date, citation number, and the document needed.
- Call 606-787-6510 for the main clerk office, or 606-787-6761 for District Court matters.
- Ask whether the file is local, stored at a records facility, confidential, sealed, or destroyed under retention rules.
- Confirm copy fees, certification costs, payment method, pickup, mail, or other delivery options with the clerk.
For older files, the local clerk may need to give case and file locator numbers before the KCOJ court-records request process can continue through KDLA. KCOJ says State Records Center files cannot be searched by name or Social Security number, so the locator numbers matter.
The clerk can also help separate a docket lookup from a file-copy request. A docket date may show that a hearing is scheduled, but a certified order, judgment, disposition, or decree requires the official case file and the clerk's copy process.
Casey Court Record Request Fields
No separate Casey County court-record form field list was found in the research. The safest request is a complete written or phone request with enough identifiers for the clerk to locate the file. Names alone may not be enough, especially for older records or files stored away from the courthouse.
| Field | Needed? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | Best if known | Use the exact case number from a docket, notice, citation, or prior court paper. |
| Party names | Yes | Give full names and known aliases or business names. |
| Court or division | Yes | State whether the file is Circuit, Family, District, or Business Court if known. |
| Approximate filing year | Helpful | Older court files may require storage lookup or locator numbers. |
| Document type | Yes | Examples include decree, judgment, disposition, order, probate filing, citation, or docket sheet. |
| Copy type | Yes | Say whether a plain copy or certified copy is needed. |
Casey Circuit Clerk Fees
The research did not locate a current Casey County court-copy fee table on the KCOJ county page. KCOJ does list court payment methods and links ePay for eligible online payments. Because statewide court filing fees were scheduled to change on July 1, 2026 under Kentucky Supreme Court orders noted in the research, any filing or copy amount should be verified before use.
| Item | Amount or Channel |
|---|---|
| Court case copy | Confirm with Circuit Court Clerk |
| Certified court copy | Confirm with Circuit Court Clerk |
| Eligible fines and fees | KCOJ ePay when the case qualifies |
| In-office payment methods | Cash, personal check, certified check, and money order |
| Older stored records | KDLA process after clerk supplies case and file locator numbers |
Note: Do not use county clerk recording fees for court case copies, because those fees apply to separate county clerk records.
Casey County Court Forms
Kentucky court forms are centralized through the Kentucky Court of Justice rather than a separate Casey County form library. The KCOJ legal forms index is the official starting point for court forms such as civil, criminal, domestic, probate, expungement, and other court filings. The clerk can explain filing location and copy procedures, but cannot give legal advice about which form to use.
For expungement, the research points to KRS 431.073 for qualifying conviction expungement and KRS 431.076 for certain acquittal or dismissal outcomes. Juvenile, adoption, mental health, and sealed records can have separate access limits, so a public search may not show every filing even when a case exists.
The Casey County Clerk additional-information page is a separate county clerk resource for local services outside the court case file.
For court forms and filings, use KCOJ resources and the Circuit Court Clerk; for county clerk services, use the county clerk office.
Online and Archived Court Access
Casey County does not publish a separate county-built court case-search portal. Online court access comes through state systems. The public docket tool is used for court-date lookup, while KYeCourts and CourtNet provide registered access to Kentucky court applications. ePay supports eligible fine or fee payments, including searches by case, party, business, or citation where the case is eligible.
Archived records need more care. KCOJ says AOC does not keep court case records for direct public fulfillment. If a file is stored at the State Records Center, the local clerk must first provide locator numbers. After that, the requester can use KDLA channels. This matters for older Casey County cases because a name-only request at the State Records Center will not work.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals page is relevant when a Casey County Circuit or Family Court case moves beyond the local trial court.
Appeals use appellate clerk and C-Track channels, so the local Circuit Court Clerk is not the copy source for every post-judgment record.
