Barbour County Court Records
Barbour County maintains an extensive archive of court documents—collectively known as Barbour court records—that chronicle each case from filing to final judgment. Attorneys, researchers, and members of the public rely on these records to trace case outcomes, monitor proceedings, and uphold transparency in the judicial system. A typical file contains the case caption (listing the parties involved), the docket number, and key filing dates. It also includes core pleadings such as complaints, answers, and motions, along with judges' orders, final rulings, and any notices of appeal.
Are Court Records Public in Barbour County?
Yes. Barbour County makes court records accessible to the public under Alabama Code § 36-12-40, which grants citizens the right to view and request copies of judicial documents. The Alabama Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality restrict access to certain sensitive files—such as those involving juveniles, adoptions, or documents containing Social Security numbers, medical details, financial data, trade secrets, or national security information—by sealing them to protect privacy.

Barbour County Criminal and Civil Records
Barbour County's court files constitute the official, permanent record of every criminal charge and civil lawsuit handled in the county's trial courts. Each file may include the charging instrument or initial complaint, docket sheets tracking every appearance, motions and briefs, orders and judgments, and—in many cases—supporting exhibits, police affidavits, or verbatim hearing transcripts. Criminal records document the disposition of felonies, misdemeanors, traffic offenses, and juvenile matters, providing an indispensable source for safeguarding due-process rights and tracking public-safety outcomes. Civil records chronicle contract disputes, tort claims, property suits, probate appeals, and domestic-relations actions, creating a transparent ledger of how private conflicts are resolved under law.

Barbour County Divorce Records
Barbour County divorce records are public and kept by the Barbour County Circuit Court, which takes care of all divorce cases through its Domestic Relations Division. To get an official copy of a divorce record, requesters can contact either the Clayton or Eufaula courthouse. They will need to give the full names of both people who got divorced, the date (or close to it) when the divorce happened, and the case number if they have it. There is a small fee to get a certified copy. Divorce records from Barbour County are available at the local court, but if the divorce happened after 1950, people can also request a copy from the Alabama Department of Public Health. In Alabama, divorce certificates are public, so anyone can ask for one as long as they give enough information and pay the fee.
Barbour County Birth Records
Barbour County birth records are kept by the Barbour County Health Department, with offices in Eufaula at the address below:
634 School Street
Eufaula, AL 36027
Phone: (334) 687-4808
and in Clayton at the address below:
39 Browder Street
Clayton, AL 36016
Phone: (334) 775-8324
Per Alabama law (Alabama Code § 22-9A-21), birth certificates are kept private for 125 years. During that time, only the person named on the certificate, their close family members, or someone with legal permission can get a copy. To ask for one, inquirers are required to present a photo ID and provide details to facilitate the search like the full name on the certificate, date of birth, and parents' names.
The first copy costs $15, and each extra copy costs $6 if ordered together. Barbour County birth records are important because they help prove identity, apply for a driver's license or passport, enroll in school, get government benefits, and learn about family history.
Barbour County Death Records
Barbour County death records are handled by the Barbour County Health Department, with offices in Eufaula and Clayton. Under Alabama Code § 22-9A-21, death certificates are kept private for 25 years after the person's death. Only close family members, legal representatives, or the person who reported the death are allowed to get a certified copy within the first 25 years. After 25 years, death records are no longer private, and anyone can ask for a copy. To request one, the person must show a photo ID and give information, such as the full name of the person who died, when they died, and where the death occurred. Each certified copy costs the same as a Barbour County birth certificate. Death records are important for taking care of legal issues, closing a person's estate, filing life insurance claims, and researching family history.
Barbour County Probate Court Records
Barbour County Probate Court handles cases like wills, estates, guardianships, mental health matters, marriage licenses, gun permits, and business name filings. The court keeps records that may include documents like petitions, court decisions, lists of estate items, and reports from guardians. To get a copy of these records, individuals need to contact the Probate Court office in either Clayton or Eufaula. They should give details like the name of the person involved, the year the case was filed, and the case number if they have it. A photo ID and a small payment may be needed. People can ask for records in person, by mail, or sometimes by email, depending on the rules of the office.
Barbour County Property Records
Two government offices maintain Barbour County property records. The Barbour County Probate Office in Eufaula and Clayton holds all recorded land instruments—deeds, mortgages, liens, plats, and related documents—which must be requested in person or by mail, as the county judiciary system provides no public online database. The Barbour County Revenue Commissioner's Office provides appraisal and assessment data—parcel identification numbers, assessed values, property classification codes, tax histories, and GIS mapping—accessible through the Alabama Department of Revenue's official County Offices/Appraisal & Assessment Records portal, which links to Barbour County's Citizen Access Portal and Public GIS website.
Barbour County Court Records Online
Interested members of the public may look up Barbour County court records online using third-party websites like Alabamacourtrecords.us. This means they do not have to visit the courthouse in person. These websites allow requesters to look up court record information relating to criminal cases, civil cases, arrests, or court dates by typing in a person's name or case number. While convenient, third-party sites operate independently of official custodians. Hence, the validity and accuracy of their records may not be guaranteed.
