Published how-to-get-records guidance: paper records are kept at the courthouse where the case was heard - anyone may view records in person at the clerk's office with the case number, copies are available for a fee, and the courts directory lists court locations and phone numbers; electronically, Maryland Case Search is the primary way the public may search for records of court cases as a summary of the official case file.

Where and how to request copies (in person or in writing at the record-holding court; estates via the county Register of Wills)

Paper Records : Court records are kept at the courthouse where the case was heard. With a few exceptions, anyone may view the records in person at the clerk's office. Provide the clerk with the case number for the court record you wish to view. If you do not have the case number, the clerk may be able to locate the file with the names of the persons involved. You may request a copy of documents in the file. There is a fee for copies. You may call the courthouse to ask if the record you need is available at that location. View the courts directory for a list of court locations and phone numbers Electronic Records : Certain court records may also be accessed electronically. Maryland Judiciary Case Search ("Case Search") is the primary way that the public may search for records of court cases. The information in Case Search is a summary of what is contained in the official case file. Case Search is a good way to get some general information about a case such as the case number, dates, and type of case. View the case file in the clerk's office for a complete record. Find more information on Case Search on the Case Search - Frequently Asked Questions page (as published)
