Why We Built This Site
Indiana gives the public several ways to look for court records, but Jay County records are not held in one place. MyCase is the starting point for many public case searches. The Clerk of the Jay Circuit and Superior Courts handles certified copies, older civil and criminal searches, marriage licenses, and probate records from 1900 forward. Portland City Court handles traffic infractions, while the sheriff and Security Center handle custody and jail information. This site brings those local paths together in one county-specific reference.
What You Will Find Here
- Records pages by type: court records, arrest records and charges, inmate records, warrant records, marriage and divorce, probate, and more
- Office contacts: direct contact info for the Clerk of the Jay Circuit and Superior Courts, Jay Circuit and Superior Courts, Portland City Court, and the sheriff
- Search walkthroughs: steps for MyCase, clerk copy requests, the sheriff app, the statewide jail portal, and county-specific request forms
- Public records help: Indiana access rules, court-record limits, restricted record categories, copy fees, and records that require a government office request
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Indiana court, Jay County office, sheriff's office, clerk's office, prosecutor, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
