Randolph County Criminal and Civil Records

The Alabama court's case management system allows for name and case number searches. However, individuals must create an account to access files within the database. Accessible information includes civil and criminal court details, scheduling dates, case parties, case summaries, and document images.

Alternatively, individuals may send a written request by mail or visit the courthouse during business hours.

Moreover, Randolph County arrest records can be accessed through the Alabama Background Check database. Users will need to set up an account, pay an annual $95 subscription fee, and an additional $15 for each search. Besides Randolph criminal records, one can also access other criminal records generated in Alabama through this system.

It is important to note that an individual may have an arrest record without an accompanying court record; therefore, someone specifically looking for Randolph arrest records can directly contact the sheriff's office or the law enforcement department that made the arrest.

Randolph County Marriage Records

According to Ala. Code § 22-9A-21, Randolph County vital records include marriage, divorce, birth, and death documents. However, the regulations governing each type of vital record vary. For example, while certain documents, like Randolph County marriage records, are publicly accessible, others may have limited access.

Individuals can obtain a Randolph County marriage certificate online, by mail, or in person. Online requests are processed through an authorized private contractor; in-person requests can be made at the county's vital records office (the county clerk's office); and requesters can send written marriage records requests to the following mailing address:

Center for Health Statistics
P.O. Box 5625
Montgomery, AL 36103-5625

Marriage certificates for unions before 1936 can be requested from the county clerk's office. Those seeking certificates for marriages that occurred after this date can contact the Center for Health Statistics. To access Randolph County marriage records, the requester must pay the $15 search fee and provide the necessary identifying information.

Randolph County Divorce Records

Divorce documents are part of Randolph County public records. To acquire a Randolph divorce certificate, a requester must provide the Alabama Public Health Department (APDH) with the names of the divorcees before the marriage, the date of the divorce, the county in which the divorce was finalized, and the requester's name, signature, address, and phone number. Additionally, a payment of $15 is required.

Divorce records (decrees and other case documents/information) can also be obtained from the Randolph Circuit Court.

Randolph County Birth Records

Birth certificates are valuable documents for research purposes, genealogical inquiries, and vital statistics. Additionally, they are necessary for obtaining a Social Security number, a driver's license, and insurance.

In contrast to Randolph's records of marriage and divorce, birth records are protected under confidentiality by Ala. Code § 22-9A-21(a). The law stipulates that Randolph County birth records are only accessible to the public 125 years from the birth event. Consequently, only legally authorized persons, such as the registrant, can obtain a Randolph County birth certificate. Guidelines for requesting these records are available on the Alabama Public Health Department's website.

Randolph County Death Records

Randolph's death records become publicly accessible 25 years after the recorded date of death. Prior to this deadline, access is limited to family members, guardians, and authorized representatives, who must present valid identification. Eligible individuals can explore the APHD website to learn how to proceed with their requests.

Death certificates from Randolph are essential for probate proceedings and claiming life insurance benefits.

Randolph County Probate Court Records

The Randolph County Probate Court addresses various matters, including guardianships, conservatorships, adoptions, name changes, and wills. Records from these cases are accessible via the subscription-based ALACOURT ACCESS portal or at the courthouse during business hours.

Randolph County Property Records

Deeds are typically filed with the Randolph Probate Court. Those looking for these documents can contact the probate court for assistance. Interested individuals can start by accessing the ALACOURT ACCESS portal or visiting the probate court to utilize public access computers or submit requests. Supplying identifiable information (names, numbers, dates) to the records custodian facilitates a more efficient search, regardless of one's chosen inquiry method.

Furthermore, individuals can explore the Randolph County parcel viewer, maintained on the Revenue Commissioner's Office website, to conduct a parcel summary search. Various criteria, such as the owner's name, parcel PIN, location, mailing address, and district, are available for performing a search.

Randolph County Court Records Online

Randolph court records are available remotely not only through the courts but also via third-party vendors like Alabamacourtrecords.us. Third-party sites allow users to retrieve records from the comfort of their homes, eliminating logistical issues or lengthy waits. These websites often offer complimentary searches. However, for a fee, users can usually tap into an extensive database of court case information, spanning nationwide. A notable downside is the risk of obtaining obsolete or inaccurate information.
