Copies of court documents - including orders regarding dissolution's of marriage and judgments of dissolution's, probate, wills, name changes, criminal and civil cases - are available at a district headquarters courthouse in which the matter was handled, or if it is an older record at the Los Angeles County Superior Court

Archives. Check at a district headquarters courthouse - see "Superior Courts" for a listing of the district courts or go to lasuperiorcourt.org to determine where the file is stored. (No phone orders will be accepted).

Some post-1999 civil case documents may be online on the related link provided.

For the Central District Court, you may visit or write the certification section in Rm. 112 at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles or call (213) 974-5191 for information. (No phone orders will be accepted.)

To order documents from the Archives requires having a case number, names of the parties and what document you want copied. If you have the names of the parties and the year the case was filed, but no case number, and it was filed in 1965 or earlier, you may request the case number by calling the civil index clerk at (213) 974-1378. If the case was filed after 1965, call the civil index clerk at (213) 974-5171.
