Courts & Case Lookup
Look Up My Case
Some family court cases are “sealed” and not accessible to the public. As of 8/2/2023, all custody cases are sealed and no longer available for online lookup.
If you have a sealed case, you will not be able to view any information about the case online. You will need to come to the courthouse with your photo ID and have a clerk look up the case for you.
You can look up your family court case online by visiting the District Court Portal or the Clark County Courts Records Inquiry.
You can search by case number or by a party’s name. If you are using the records inquiry system and you are not sure how to spell a party’s name, check the box that says “use soundex” and the system will search names that sound like the one you are searching for.
Getting Copies of Documents, Transcripts, and Videos
You can get copies of documents from your case from the Clerk of Court.
For copies of documents, visit the Clerk of Court Records page. Download a "copy request" form and submit the form to the email address listed.
