If You Have a Case Number
If you have a case number and you would like copies of the file,
you can either come personally to the court at 500 Argonaut Lane,
Jackson, CA, or submit a written
request along with the required fees and indicate what documents
you need copied from the file. Enclose a self-addressed, stamped
envelope large enough to contain the copies you requested.
It can take up to 3 to 4 weeks to complete a records search.
There is a copy charge of $50¢ a page. If you require the
document to be certified, please add $25.00 in addition to the per
page copy charge.
The check or money order should be made payable to the Amador Superior
Court.
If you are making the request by mail and are unsure as to the
amount required to complete the request you can send a letter to
request the exact amount. If the case is not confidential, and generally
criminal cases are not confidential, you can send a friend or a
private agency to the clerk’s office to obtain the information and
there is no search fee.
Checks written from private parties must be for a specific amount;
the court can no longer accept blank checks not to exceed a certain
amount. In the event you choose to send a check for a specific amount
the clerk will perform the search and make your copies until the
amount is exhausted, and then inform you of the amount necessary
to obtain the rest of the copies. If the copies made are not enough
to exhaust the amount of the check submitted, the court cannot make
or return change so the extra funds will not be returned. Written
requests for records searches will not be completed and returned
unless accompanied by a check or money order and a self addressed
stamped envelope.
