Why We Built This Site
Kentucky gives residents access to many public records through the Kentucky Open Records Act and the statewide court-record systems. The hard part is knowing which Franklin County office holds the file. The Circuit Court Clerk handles Circuit, Family, and District Court case records at the courthouse in Frankfort. The County Clerk handles marriage licenses, recorded wills, deeds, mortgages, liens, DD214s, plats, and open-records requests for county-clerk records. The Regional Jail manages inmate records, while the Sheriff's Office handles law-enforcement services and some records requests. We pull together the contact details, search portals, fees, and request steps for those offices in one place.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Kentucky court, Franklin County clerk's office, sheriff's office, jail, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
