Creek County Court Records

Creek County court records are created when cases are filed in any of the county courts and are constantly updated as cases progress through the justice system until the court's final adjudication. They cover supporting documents submitted to the clerk by litigants as well as records created by the courts in the course of civil and criminal litigations.

Creek County court records include pleadings, summonses, exhibits, orders, docket information, transcripts, and subpoenas. Court records may be filed electronically or on paper and are preserved indefinitely. These records are documentation of court activities and facilitate public access and insight into judicial dealings.

Are Court Records Public in Creek County?

Court records are public in Creek County under the Oklahoma Open Records Act. By this law, the general public may request copies of public records without stating the purpose for the request. Furthermore, the law mandates record custodians to provide reasonable means by which the public can access them, which may include mail and online options.

However, the Open Records Act provides for the restriction of access to certain records if their disclosure is restricted by law or court order. Such records or information are redacted from public copies. Sometimes, access to entire case records is completely denied. Non-public court records typically include:

• Records containing sensitive medical or financial information
• Documents on adoptions and dependency proceedings
• Documents containing sensitive personal information
• Juvenile offender information
• Sealed or expunged records.

Creek County birth certificates are sealed from public inspection. Record seekers not directly related to the individual named on a certificate need a certified court order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain a certified copy. Certified copies of Creek County birth records obtained from this copy cost a $40.00 fee.

Similarly, Creek County death records are not open for public inspection and may only be obtained by parties acting in the best interest of the deceased, such as parent, child, grandparent, legal guardian, surviving spouse, or sibling. Other parties may obtain death records if they can establish familial ties with the deceased if they have an authorizing court order from a court of competent jurisdiction, if they co-owned real or personal properties with the deceased, or if they are listed in a will of the deceased. Only death records that are 50 years or older are public.

The cost for copies is $20.00 for the first copy and $15.00 for subsequent copies. Additional fees are required for expedited searches and non-residents. Requests for the above records must include the requester’s valid photo ID. Note that the vital records office only accepts requests by mail or phone, as the office lobby is closed to walk-ins.

Creek County Court Records Online

People can find court records online via court platforms. Third-party websites like oklahomacourtrecords.us also exist for this purpose. These websites have simple interfaces that are easy to maneuver and use subject names as the primary search criteria. They also cover multiple courts and counties, making them suitable for searches where the case's originating court is unknown.

However, information obtained from third-party resources is often limited since certain federal and state laws prohibit the electronic dissemination of confidential details. Moreover, these websites are not regulated by government agencies. Thus, information accuracy may vary. Furthermore, documents obtained from these platforms do not qualify as official court records.
