How Do I Look Up Records of a Judgment in California?
- 1). Go to the Clerk of Courts in the county that the judgment was issued.
- 2). Go to the Records Division of the Clerk of Courts.
- 3). Inform the representative that you would like to view the records pertaining to a particular case. Give the case number to the representative so that they may access the records. If you do not know the case number, provide the names of the parties involved in the case, although it may be difficult for them to find records of older cases involving parties with commonly occurring names.
- 4). Look through the file and locate the Judicial Order. Typically you will be required to view case files in a secure room that cannot be exited without a representative's knowledge. If you would like to make copies of the order or any other documents within the file, the representative will assist you, typically at the price of approximately $1 per page.
