Record Check

All requests for a record check shall be submitted in writing by the applicant. Response to the request for a record check shall be made by the court in writing as soon as practicable after the written request is received by the court. The fee for checking chancery court records shall be $10.00. Payment of the $10.00 fee for each record check shall be made in cash or check payable to the court. Only one fee shall be charged for a record check involving a particular name and any reasonable derivation or other spelling of that name. However, a separate record check fee will be charged for each and every alias which is dissimilar to the original name submitted. No charge shall be made for checking chancery court records if requested by an employee of a governmental agency. Any request for copies of documents shall be billed separately as allowed by these rules above and beyond any fee charged as set forth herein. This rule and the charge provided only applies to services required from court personnel to check and/or abstract court records. This rule has no application to the personal examination of any non-confidential court records including indexes by any individual desiring information from these public records.
