Why We Built This Site
Colorado gives the public access to many court and government records, but Arapahoe County records are split by custodian. The Clerk of Court within the Colorado Judicial Branch handles state court case files. The Clerk and Recorder handles recorded documents, marriage licenses, elections, motor vehicle services, and passports. The Sheriff's Office manages the jail, inmate lookup, booking records, incident reports, and many criminal-justice record requests. We pull together the contact details, search portals, fee notes, and request steps for those offices into one place.
What You Will Find Here

- Office contacts: direct contact info for the Clerk of Court, District Court, Clerk and Recorder, Sheriff's Office, and major facilities

- Public records help: how to file an open records request and what to expect for response time
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Colorado court, clerk's office, sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
