How to Get a Copy of a Eagle Court Document
Eagle County court documents — including pleadings, orders, judgments, and case registers of actions — can be obtained in several ways.
Online
The Access Guide to Public Records on the Colorado Judicial Branch website lists approved vendors that provide electronic access to court records by name or case number. These services may charge fees.
In Person
Visit the clerk's office at the Eagle County Justice Center during business hours. You can request copies at the counter and ask for certified or uncertified versions. Bring the case number if you have it — this speeds up the process considerably.
By Mail
Send a written request to the address above. Include:
- Full case number (if known)
- Names of the parties
- Description of the document(s) requested
- Whether you need certified or uncertified copies
- Your return mailing address
- Payment (check or money order payable to the Eagle Combined Courts)
Certified copies carry an official court seal and are generally required for legal proceedings, real estate transactions, or filings with other agencies. Uncertified copies work for personal reference. Certain records — such as sealed cases, juvenile matters, and some domestic cases — may be restricted from public access under Colorado statutes.
