Access Jefferson County Clerk Records

Anne L. Durden, Clerk of Superior Court

Anne L. Durden is the Jefferson County Clerk of Superior Court. The county Clerk of Superior Court page says she has served since January 2013 and practiced law for 20 years before taking office. It also identifies her education at the University of Georgia and Emory University School of Law. The GSCCCA clerk directory lists her as elected in 2012 and places the court office at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Louisville.

The Clerk of Superior Court is the unified records clerk for Superior, State, and Juvenile Courts in Jefferson County. The office is the custodian of criminal, civil, traffic, and juvenile case records. It also maintains real estate records, including deeds, plats, liens, and UCC filings, and it handles jury management for Superior and State Courts, notary commissions, and passport-agent service.

The Jefferson County Clerk of Superior Court page is the county source for Clerk duties, copy fees, payment rules, and e-filing links.

That page is the best local starting point because it connects the office biography, public research access, fee schedule, and filing routes in one place.

Records the Clerk Keeps

The clerk's court-record role is broader than one case-search counter. Superior Court records include felony, divorce, major civil, and broad trial-court filings. State Court records include misdemeanor, traffic, and civil matters as authorized. Juvenile Court records are also listed under the Clerk, although juvenile files are not ordinary adult public records and may be restricted by law or court rule. Real estate and commercial records are maintained separately from case files but still run through the Clerk of Superior Court.

• Superior, State, and Juvenile Court case records, including criminal, civil, traffic, and juvenile records.
• Real estate records such as deeds, plats, liens, and UCC filings, with GSCCCA online real estate records from 1970 to present.
• Jury management for Superior and State Courts, notary commissions, passport-agent service, and Board of Equalization administration.
• Specialty court record administration listed by GSCCCA for Drug Court and Parent Accountability Court.

GSCCCA identifies office contacts by record type. Angela McArthur is listed for Juvenile Court and Civil matters. Rachel Jones is listed for Superior Court Criminal. Sheri Henley is Chief Deputy and the contact for Real Estate, Liens, and UCCs. Meagan Clark is listed for State Court Criminal and Traffic. Those contact assignments are useful when a caller knows the record category but does not have a case number.

How to Request a Certified Copy

Certified copies are used when a plain photocopy is not enough, such as for recorded deeds, court orders, divorce decrees, dispositions, or filings that another agency must rely on. Jefferson County publishes the copy fee schedule, but the official Clerk page does not publish a detailed mail, email, or online request form workflow for court copies. For that reason, the safest process is to confirm the file location and total fee with the Clerk before sending payment or relying on a visit.

1. Identify the record type: Superior Court civil, Superior Court criminal, State Court criminal, traffic, juvenile, real estate, lien, UCC, or another category.
2. Gather search details before calling or visiting: party names, case number if known, filing year or date range, document title, and whether certification is required.
3. Contact the Clerk of Superior Court at 478-625-7922 or visit the courthouse counter at 202 E Broad Street during posted business hours.
4. Ask the clerk to confirm public availability, page count, certification fee, accepted payment method, and whether pickup, mail return, or an electronic certified document is available.
5. Pay using the published accepted methods. The Clerk page says Mastercard or Visa credit/debit card or money order is accepted and that cash is not accepted for security reasons.
6. For eligible documents available through GSCCCA eCertification, use the state portal account process and save the authentication information provided with the certified document.

Records Request Form Fields

No official Jefferson County Clerk court-record copy request form with a published field inventory was found in the research source set. The Clerk page confirms in-person research access, copy fees, and e-filing links, but it does not provide a downloadable copy-request form for court records. Do not assume a required form field just because another county uses one. When requesting records, provide enough identifying information for staff to locate the file and let the Clerk confirm whether a specific form is required.

Jefferson County Clerk Fees

The Clerk page publishes a compact fee schedule and payment rule. Civil filing fees and service fees should be confirmed before filing because vendor convenience charges, sheriff service, and case-specific costs can change the total amount due. Copy fees are more direct: plain copies are priced per page, and certified copies have a first-page certification amount plus an additional-page rate.

E-Filing, GSCCCA, and eCertification

Jefferson County uses different electronic systems for different filing and search tasks. Civil e-filing routes through PeachCourt. Real estate and UCC e-filing routes through GSCCCA eFile. Criminal e-filing routes through EZ-File Georgia. Georgia Courts' E-Access page explains that case searches redirect to providers and require an account. PeachCourt document access also excludes sealed documents, adoption documents, and proposed orders not executed by a judge.

The GSCCCA eCertification portal supports sign-in or registration for certified document requests and also provides a way to look up an issued certified document's authentication code.

Electronic certification may be useful when a certified record can be delivered and validated through GSCCCA rather than picked up as a paper copy at the courthouse.

• PeachCourt handles Georgia civil and criminal e-filing and court documents through user accounts.
• GSCCCA eFile handles real estate and UCC e-filing, with government ID verification required for real estate e-filers effective January 1, 2025.
• EZ-File Georgia is the criminal e-filing login route identified in the research.
• GSCCCA Search provides access routes for real estate, UCC, lien, notary, and related Superior Court clerk records.

In-Person Research and Nearby Court Offices

The Clerk's Office is open to the public during regular business hours for researching criminal, civil, and real estate records. The main court-records counter is at the courthouse on East Broad Street. Law-enforcement records, jail records, and Magistrate Court matters are at the Law Enforcement Center on Clarks Mill Road, so requesters should not assume every record is at the same building.

The Jefferson County Magistrate Court page documents the Clarks Mill Road location, Chief Magistrate Anita P. Thompson, clerk contacts, phone number, fax number, and hours.

That distinction matters because warrants, first appearances, and small civil matters may begin at Magistrate Court even when later court records are held by the Clerk.

The Wrens Municipal Court page shows a separate city-court channel for local traffic, payment, appearance, and bench-warrant issues.

City court records should be checked with the city court when the citation or ordinance case was issued inside a municipality rather than through county State Court.

The Stapleton city departments page identifies its municipal court judge, clerk, payment notes, and failure-to-appear consequences.

Municipal court pages are not substitutes for the Clerk of Superior Court, but they are important when a Jefferson County court-record search involves city traffic or ordinance records.
