The county clerk is a separate office from the court clerk. Sandra Trujillo is the Oklahoma County Clerk. Her office is at 320 Robert S. Kerr Ave, Room 203, Oklahoma City, OK 73102. The phone number is (405) 713-1801. Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

It lets you look up property values, legal descriptions, and tax info by owner name or address.

Under 51 O.S. Section 24A.5, all records of public bodies must be open to any person for inspection during regular business hours. Copy fees for the county clerk cannot go above $0.25 per page for standard copies or $1.00 per page for certified copies. These caps are set by state law.

This resource covers both court clerk and county clerk records for the Oklahoma County residents directory.

Note: The county clerk and court clerk share the same building at 320 Robert S. Kerr Avenue but work in different suites with different phone numbers.

Search Oklahoma County Records on OSCN

The Oklahoma State Courts Network is the fastest free way to search the Oklahoma County residents directory for court cases. OSCN holds over 15 million cases from all 77 counties. Oklahoma County alone makes up a big chunk of that total, given the 120,000 new filings each year. You can search by name or case number at any time. There is no fee and no account needed.

Start by going to the OSCN docket search. Pick Oklahoma County from the dropdown. Type in a last name and first name. Results come back fast. You get party names, docket entries, hearing dates, and case status. For many cases, you can view the actual filed documents right there on screen. OSCN covers civil suits, criminal cases, traffic tickets, probate matters, family court, and small claims in Oklahoma County.

Some records do not show up on OSCN. Juvenile cases have restricted access. Sealed and expunged cases are gone from the system entirely. Municipal court records from Oklahoma City, Edmond, and other cities in the county are not on OSCN either. For those, call the city court clerk. New filings can take 24 to 72 hours to appear, but most post quickly. You can also pay court fines online through the OSCN payment portal.

Oklahoma County Detention Center Records

The Oklahoma County Detention Center runs its own public records tools. The site has an inmate search powered by Jail Tracker, a daily blotter report that gets updated every day, and a section for warrants and bonds. These tools let you look up who is in custody right now, what they were booked for, and whether a warrant has been issued.

Open records requests go through the detention center too. Under 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, law enforcement agencies must share certain records. That includes the name, date of birth, address, and description of anyone arrested. It also covers the facts of the arrest and the arresting officer's name. You can email records requests to records@okcountydc.net. The detention center also runs a C.A.R.E. Unit that helps family members of people in custody.

Jail registers are public by law. They show each person booked in, the date and cause of commitment, who ordered it, and the date of release. Warrant dispositions and crime summaries fall under the same rule. The daily blotter on the detention center site covers most of this.

Note: The detention center handles county jail inmates only, not state prison inmates, so check the DOC Offender Lookup for people in state custody.

Land Records in Oklahoma County

Oklahoma County sits right in the middle of the state and has a busy real estate market. The county clerk records all deeds, mortgages, easements, and mineral rights documents. Mineral rights are a big deal here. Oil and gas activity means lots of filings tied to subsurface rights, trust funding, and probate transfers. The Winblad Law resource on Oklahoma County mineral rights covers how probate, trust funding, and urban energy issues work in this area.

The screenshot below shows the Oklahoma County clerk search portal.

This resource explains how land records, mineral rights, and probate files connect in the Oklahoma County residents directory.

You can search the OKCC.ONLINE system to find recorded documents without visiting the courthouse. The index is free to browse. Many documents have scanned images you can view on screen. For certified copies, you will need to go to the clerk's office or mail in a request with the right fee.

Criminal History Searches in Oklahoma County

The OSBI Criminal History Information Request Portal handles formal criminal record checks. You create a free account on CHIRP, submit a name search for $15, and get results through your account. Fingerprint-based searches cost more. The system checks the OSBI database and returns results during business hours. Results stay in your account for 60 days.

For Oklahoma County specifically, many people start with OSCN instead. Court records on OSCN show criminal cases filed in Oklahoma County District Court. You can see felony charges, misdemeanor charges, case outcomes, and sentencing details. OSCN is free and gives you more detail on individual cases than a general OSBI check.

The Oklahoma County Court Clerk website is another option. It covers court records, property files, and other public data for Oklahoma County. Between OSCN, CHIRP, and county-level tools, the Oklahoma County residents directory covers a wide range of ways to check on a person's record.
