From the Los Angeles County website: COURT RECORDS Copies of court documents - including orders regarding dissolutions of marriage and judgments of dissolutions, 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 Archives (see "Archives" below). 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 at http://lasuperiorcourt.org/Online/CivilImages. 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.) ARCHIVES 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. --Purchase case document copies in person at the Archives, 222 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays, except holidays. Phone (213) 974-5191. --Mail requests for case documents to County Records Center, 222 N. Hill St., Rm. 212, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Enclose a check, payable to the Los Angeles Superior Court, to cover the cost of documents, which is 50 cents per page and a certification fee of $15 per document. If the document is a final judgment of divorce, add $15 for the certification fee. If the copies are for official use in another country, there is an additional $20 exemplification fee. If you do not know the number of pages or the cost for copies, write below the long dollar line on your check the phrase: "Not to exceed $30." The clerk processing the order will fill in the actual amount and return a receipt with the copies. Please enclose a self-addressed, legal sized envelope. Allow 20 working days for processing.
