Coos County Court Dockets

Court records in Coos County, Oregon can be searched through several channels. CoosCourt.us can help find publicly available information about court cases filed in the county. You can also access records through official Oregon Judicial Department online tools, the Coos County Circuit Court clerk's office in Coquille, and public access terminals at the courthouse. The approach you use will depend on the type of record, how old it is, and whether you need a certified copy.

Coos Court System & Jurisdictions

Oregon uses a unified court system, so Coos County does not have separate district, magistrate, or municipal courts at the state level. Instead, the Coos County Circuit Court is the trial court of general jurisdiction. It handles virtually all case types filed in the county:

• Criminal cases — felonies, misdemeanors, and violations
• Civil cases — contract disputes, personal injury, property disputes, and general civil litigation
• Family law — divorce, custody, child support, modifications, and protective orders
• Probate and estate — wills, estates, guardianships, and conservatorships
• Small claims — civil disputes up to $10,000 (handled within the circuit court)
• Traffic and ordinance violations
• Juvenile matters — delinquency and dependency (many juvenile records are confidential under Oregon law)

The Coos County Circuit Court shares an administrative judicial district with Curry County. Both courts fall under the Coos & Curry County Circuit Courts division of the Oregon Judicial Department. If you are unsure which court handled your case, contact the clerk's office at 541-396-8372.

Federal cases involving Coos County residents are handled by the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, not the circuit court.

How to Get a Copy of a Coos Court Document

You can obtain copies of Coos County court documents in several ways. Whether you need a certified or uncertified copy determines the process and cost.

Online

OJCIN OnLine (Oregon Judicial Case Information Network) is the official paid portal for detailed court records statewide. It provides access to case information through the Oregon eCourt system (OECI). A subscription or per-search fee applies. Basic case information is also available through the free records search on the Oregon Judicial Department website, though document images may not be included.

In Person

Visit the Coos County Circuit Court clerk's office at 250 N Baxter St in Coquille during business hours (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, closed 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM). Bring the case number or party names to help the clerk locate records. You can review files at the courthouse and request copies on the spot.

By Mail

Send a written request to the clerk's office with:

• Case number (if known) or full names of the parties
• Description of the document(s) you need
• Whether you need certified or uncertified copies
• A self-addressed stamped envelope
• Payment (check or money order payable to the Coos County Circuit Court)

Certified vs. Uncertified Copies

• Uncertified copies are plain photocopies suitable for personal reference.
• Certified copies bear the court's official seal and clerk's signature. These are typically required for legal proceedings, government filings, or out-of-state use.

For historical records, the Coos County Records Inventory maintained by the Oregon Secretary of State's Archives Division lists older circuit court records, including criminal case files, sheriff's deeds, and foreclosure sale records stored at the courthouse and annex facilities.

Restricted Records

Certain records are not available to the general public, including:

• Sealed or expunged cases
• Juvenile delinquency and dependency records
• Adoption records
• Grand jury proceedings
• Some mental health commitment records

Ask the clerk whether the record you need is publicly accessible before submitting payment.
