Help Information
Search Tips
Not all fields are required.
The required search criteria must include one of the following:
Case Number
Ticket Number
Last Name and First name
Company Name
Performance
The most efficient way to search for a case is by case number or ticket number.
Without a case or ticket number, search by using first name and last name to find the case.
If the minimal search above has too many results, try to provide as much information as possible to help retrieve results in a timely manner.
Including Case Year, Case Type or Party Code are easy ways to narrow your results.
Name fields
You must always include a first and last name when performing a name search.
If including a middle name, try only including the first letter of the middle name; middle name is not always present on a case.
Company names may be entered in a variety of ways, try different variations to help find the information needed.
Case number
Case numbers include a year, a three letter case code, and a six digit sequence.
Example criminal/traffic case numbers:
2026 CR A 001234
2026 CR B 001234
2026 TR C 123456
2026 TR D 123456
2026 TR P 123456
Etc.
Example civil case numbers:
2026 CVE 001234
2026 CVF 001234
2026 CVG 001234
Etc.
Ticket number
Please include any letters included on the ticket number where applicable. For example: REY54321.
Date of birth
Submit date of birth search as MM/DD/YYYY
Example: 06/26/2005
Do not use hypens/dashes - use a forward slash / to separate month/day/year.
Case status
Most cases fall into either open or closed. Although a case status may be closed, it does not mean the case is completed or adjudicated.
