COURT CLERK'S OFFICE 14777 State Route 89 Markleeville CA 96120 Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to Noon, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Name Search Request A name search request is a request for the Court to attempt to match court records to a requested party’s information. If you are a party to a case and you no longer have or know your case number, you may make a name search request to obtain basic case information to then make a request for copies from the court’s record. A name search request requires: The person’s full legal name (and any aliases) Date of birth Other fields on the records request form are optional, but helpful to court staff in processing your request. The court will search back ten (10) years for name search requests unless otherwise specified. If results are found for a criminal name search request, infraction violations are excluded from the results unless specifically requested. Copy Request A copy request is a request for documents copied from the court’s file. The Alpine County Superior Court does not send out court files electronically (e.g., email). In addition, persons are not allowed to use cameras (including phones with cameras) to take pictures of the contents of a file. Fees Name Searches are charged a $15.00 Search Fee for searching records or files, for each search longer than 10 minutes per GC 70627(c). E.g. If searching for John Doe, aka John Roger Does, you would pay $30.00. The Search Fee is charged per name/ alias, not per case type. For copies of documents, there is a $0.50 per page Copy Fee. Other records related fees can be found in the Statewide Civil Fee Schedule. Name search requests submitted at the Clerk’s Office counter are not charged a Search Fee. All other fees apply. Payment If you are mailing your request, enclose a check or money order for the search(es) requested. If you are faxing your request, you may submit payment through the Online Payments page on our website. If paying by phone or through ACI Payment's website, the system will prompt you for a docket number. The Court recognizes "T234567" as a generic search request docket number. Once you have finished the payment process, the system will give you a confirmation number. Please include this confirmation number on your search request for faster processing. Please note the court will NOT conduct a search for records until payment has been received for the search. Payment for copies is handled separately, and the court will provide the total amount for copy fees in a separate transaction.
