ALERT!
We have recently become aware that our on line docket is not updating as it is designed to do. The last entries noted on our PUBLIC DOCKET network are from August 1, 2011. We are currently docketing work within the last 24 hours and therefore the previous two weeks are not reflected. Our IT department is working to correct the problem.
We will notify when the situation is resolved.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes all of you who rely on this website for information.
Sincerely,
Maureen G. Kelly
Clerk of Courts

Public Access To Computerized Records Brought to you by Maureen G. Kelly
Lake County Clerk of Courts
"Keeper of the Records"
The Clerk of Courts office, as the "core of the court", plays a vital role in serving the interests of justice. This includes filing, docketing, indexing and preserving all court pleadings for civil, felony criminal and domestic relations cases. The Clerk of Courts must also follow procedure required by law and issue writs to carry out Court orders including summons, subpoenas, warrants to arrest and to convey to penal institutions.
In addition to processing all Court paperwork, the Clerk of Courts must preserve the records for use by future generations. A computer system has been in use since 1990 to record the index and docket of court cases allowing faster access to the information.
The Clerk's office is located in the lower level of the Courthouse Annex. The location has space for public research.
Lake County Clerk of Courts Title Division
The Title Bureau issues a certificate to document legal ownership of motor vehicles including automobiles, watercraft and all terrain vehicles. An Automated Title Processing System (ATPS) links all 88 counties into a common database allowing for "cross county" processing of titles.
Our Title deputy clerks serve as passport acceptance agents for the Department of State.
The Title Division in Lake County has two locations. The main office located in a ONE STOP SHOP in Perry combining the Title Bureau, License Bureau and Highway Patrol Testing Station into one facility. We also operate an office in Wickliffe adjacent to the License Bureau. This allows the citizens of Lake County to transfer titles and obtain license plates conveniently.
Both Title Offices are open from 8:00am - 4:30pm Monday through Friday.
Wickliffe and Perry have extended hours until 6:30 pm on Tuesdays.
Perry and Wickliffe are open most Saturdays from 8:00am - 12:00 noon
