Court Records

Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO)

Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO) provides online access to many public Minnesota state district court records and documents.

Four search tabs are available to help users access court records and documents:

Case Search allows users to search for court cases by person name, business name, attorney name, case number, citation number, or attorney bar number. It also provides access to a Register of Actions and the public documents available online in each case.
Document Search allows users to search by case number to find public documents in court cases that are available online.
Hearing Search provides information for hearings scheduled in a court case. Users can search for hearings by person name, business name, case number, judicial officer, attorney name, or attorney bar number.
Judgment Search allows users to search by debtor name for judgment details, including any satisfactions, for docketed money judgments.

Access to documents in MCRO filed prior to July 1, 2015 is limited. There is no charge for documents accessed and downloaded through MCRO at this time. More information, including FAQs and technical support can be found on the MCRO page.

MPA Courthouse

Each Minnesota district courthouse offers free electronic access to statewide public case records through public access terminals. Courthouse public access terminals provide the most complete access. Each county courthouse also offers in-person counter access to locally-stored, public case records in paper form if not available electronically.

In Person

In Anoka County, in-person counter access to locally-stored, public case records in paper form is provided in the Records Room, which is located on the first floor, east wing of the courthouse.

Copies of court documents may either be "certified" (i.e., contain a raised court seal) or "uncertified" (i.e., plain photocopy). There is no fee for a plain copy of a court document. There is a fee for a certified copy and those amounts change periodically. To check the current rate see the Fee Schedule. Because of space limitations and other storage considerations, some court records are maintained off-site. Depending on court file availability, most requests can be completed the same day; however, requests involving multiple files or documents, and files off-site or on microfilm, may require additional processing time. Therefore, Court Administration staff may not be able to provide immediate access to all court files. Your understanding is appreciated.
