Search Rockdale Clerk Records
The clerk home page links to eFileGA for Superior and State Court filings, Real Estate E-File, Traffic Citations payment, State SR Case Payment, Superior Criminal CR Case Payment, Real Estate Record Search, and re:SearchGA. The most important current access note is the clerk's January 1, 2026 public-access notice: support for the older Public Access platform ended, users may still use it, but Tyler Technologies no longer supports it, and users should use re:SearchGA to access Rockdale County court records moving forward.
For online case records, start with re:SearchGA. Georgia Courts' e-access guidance says users are redirected to a provider and must have an account to search court records. The older Tyler Public Access portal may still load for some users, but the clerk's own notice makes re:SearchGA the forward-looking path. Certified copies, old files, and disposition-specific requests should still go directly to the clerk.
- Identify the case type: Superior felony, Superior civil or divorce, State misdemeanor, State traffic, or real estate.
- Try re:SearchGA for online case access when a public search is enough.
- Use the clerk division phone or room when the case is old, certified, offsite, or disposition-specific.
- Bring or provide party names, case number if known, case type, document type, and the number of certified or plain copies needed.
- Use the clerk's accepted payment methods and avoid personal checks.
Rockdale Certified Dispositions
Certified dispositions are often needed for employment review, licensing, immigration, school, record restriction, or proof of case outcome. The Superior Court Criminal FAQ says dispositions may be requested from the Superior Court Clerk's Office by mail at 922 Court Street, Room 203, Conyers, GA 30012, or by phone at 770-278-7922. It also states there is a fee for all copies and points users to the Filing Fees section.
Superior Court keeps records on site for up to 15 years. Older records are stored offsite and require three business days to process after request. That timing is important for felony records, older dispositions, and records needed for a deadline. A person who needs a certified disposition should not rely on a same-day online screen if the court file is older than 15 years or if the receiving agency requires a court-certified document.
| Request field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Case number | Speeds the search when available from a notice, indictment, accusation, or prior docket printout. |
| Party name | Needed when the case number is unknown or a name search is required. |
| Court and case type | Routes Superior felony, civil, divorce, State misdemeanor, and traffic matters to the correct division. |
| Document type | Identifies disposition, final order, decree, docket sheet, or other record requested. |
| Certification need | Determines whether a plain copy is enough or the clerk must certify the record. |
| Delivery method | Mail, phone-arranged pickup, or in-person handling may affect timing and payment. |

Note: When a fee is not published in the supplied research, call the clerk instead of using another county's price.
Rockdale Clerk Forms Library
The Rockdale Clerk forms page is a major access point for civil and family filings. Divorce forms are split between cases with children and without children. The list also includes appeal materials, contempt forms, custody and child-support modification forms, visitation modification forms, name-change forms, and related case filing and disposition information forms. Users should pick forms by case type, not by the broad label "court records."
- Divorce with children: complaint, summons, verification, acknowledgement of service, consent to trial after 31 days, and domestic-relations financial affidavit.
- Divorce without children: similar filing papers plus a settlement agreement without children.
- Appeal: petition for review, certificate of service on lower judiciary, and certificate of payment of costs.
- Contempt: petition or response for citation for contempt with civil filing forms.
- Custody and support: change of custody, modification of child support, and visitation modification forms.
- Name change: adult petition, verification, notice, objection form, final order, and certificate of name change.
Clerk Records Boundaries
The Clerk of Superior and State Courts works closely with Rockdale's trial courts, but some common searches belong elsewhere. Probate Court handles estates, guardianships, conservatorships, marriage licenses, vital records, weapons carry licenses, and mental-health matters. Magistrate Court handles warrants, first appearances, small claims up to $15,000, garnishments, dispossessories, and ordinance calendars. The Sheriff's Office handles jail, incident, accident, body-camera, dash-camera, civil-process, and law-enforcement open-records requests.
For a Superior Court overview, use the Rockdale County Superior Court page. For divorce or marriage record routing, use the marriage and divorce page. For old felony dispositions, the clerk's Room 203 and 770-278-7922 channel is the key source, especially when the record is older than 15 years and must be retrieved from offsite storage.
