Access Glascock County Clerk Records

About the Glascock County Clerk's Office

Glascock County's court-record clerk is the Clerk of Superior Court. The official county page names Kristie Stephens as Clerk and Lisa Haywood as Deputy Clerk. The GSCCCA clerk directory also lists Lisa Y. Haywood as chief deputy and identifies Glascock County as county code 62. The office manages Superior and Juvenile Court records, while Probate and Magistrate Court functions are handled by the Probate/Magistrate Court office.

The clerk files, records, and maintains deeds, plats, liens, judgments, DD-214 military discharge records, civil cases, criminal cases, and juvenile filings. The office also manages calendars, notices of appearance, subpoenas, and jury summons, and it collects and disburses fines, fees, and other costs. The clerk's local courthouse role also includes notary applications, trade name registrations, passport services, appeals administration, UCC filings, and real estate filings.

For courthouse visits, the GSCCCA directory gives a useful local detail: the clerk's office is the first door on the right after entering the Glascock County Courthouse through the front door. Because Wednesday hours are shorter in the GSCCCA listing, call before traveling on Wednesday or before bringing a large filing, copy request, or time-sensitive appeal document.

What the Clerk Does in Glascock County

The Clerk of Superior Court is the official custodian for the county's Superior and Juvenile Court filings. Civil records can include complaints, answers, motions, orders, judgments, notices, calendar entries, and appeals-related paperwork. Criminal Superior Court records can include indictments, accusations, arraignment entries, plea forms, motions, orders, sentencing sheets, bond entries, fines, restitution, and final disposition. Juvenile filings are locally handled through the Superior/Juvenile clerk structure, but access is restricted by law and should not be treated as public online material.

• File and maintain Superior Court civil, criminal, and juvenile case papers.
• Record and maintain deeds, plats, liens, judgments, UCC filings, real estate instruments, and DD-214 records.
• Administer appeals, court calendars, notices, subpoenas, jury summons, fines, fees, and disbursements.
• Provide courthouse services such as notary applications, trade name registrations, passport agency service, and Board of Equalization support tied to grand jury terms.

The GSCCCA eCertification portal is one statewide tool connected to certified Georgia documents.

That portal can help with electronic certified documents from participating Georgia courts, but it does not replace the Glascock County clerk counter when a case file, older paper record, restricted juvenile matter, or non-indexed document must be reviewed locally.

How to Request a Certified Copy

Certified copies are commonly needed for court judgments, divorce decrees, land records, lien releases, appeal packets, and other filings where a plain photocopy is not enough. Glascock County research did not locate a county-branded online copy request form for Superior Court case files. The practical route is to identify the correct record, contact the Clerk of Superior Court, and ask whether the item can be certified locally, obtained through GSCCCA eCertification, or must be reviewed in person.

1. Identify the court and record type. Use the Clerk of Superior Court for Superior and Juvenile filings, deeds, plats, liens, judgments, DD-214s, UCC filings, and real estate records.
2. Gather names, case number if known, approximate filing date, document title, and whether a plain, certified, or exemplified copy is needed.
3. Call 706-598-2084 or submit the request by mail to P.O. Box 231, Gibson, GA 30810, and ask the clerk to confirm copy availability, fee, payment method, and return method.
4. Use the courthouse counter when identity, eligibility, sealed-status review, or exact document selection is needed. For online certified-document work, register or sign in through GSCCCA eCertification if the record type is supported.

The GSCCCA eFile portal supports electronic real estate, plat, UCC, and lien filing referenced by the local clerk.

Filing through GSCCCA eFile is different from requesting a certified copy; it is mainly a filing path for supported real estate and related instruments, while copy questions still depend on the record held by the clerk.

Records Request Form Fields

No Glascock-specific public web form for Superior Court copy requests was located in the research. A written request should still be structured so the clerk can identify the record without guessing. For agency records rather than court filings, Georgia Open Records Act language may be appropriate, but case-file requests should be directed to the court office that maintains the file.

The Georgia Governor's Open Records Request guidance explains statewide timing, exemptions, and cost rules for Georgia Open Records Act requests.

That statewide guidance is useful when requesting administrative or agency records, but court-file access still depends on the specific court custodian, record type, and any sealing or confidentiality rules.

Glascock County Clerk Fees

The research did not locate an official Glascock County Superior Court Clerk fee schedule for plain court copies, certified copies, exemplified copies, passport execution or photo services, civil filing fees, or search fees. Do not assume a fee from another county. Call the Clerk of Superior Court before mailing payment or before relying on a third-party estimate. For Georgia Open Records Act requests, statewide guidance says ordinary paper copies may be charged at 10 cents per page, with the first 15 minutes of search or redaction time free and later labor charged at the lowest-paid qualified employee rate.

The Prosecuting Attorneys' Council open-records guide summarizes Georgia open-records responsibilities for law-enforcement agencies.

That source is most relevant when a request concerns sheriff or law-enforcement records, while Superior Court case files, land instruments, liens, and judgments remain clerk-custody questions.

Common Clerk Forms

The local clerk page points users to several function-specific systems rather than one Glascock-branded form library. Civil Superior Court filings must be e-filed through PeachCourt. Real estate documents, plats, UCCs, and tax liens may be e-filed through GSCCCA eFile. Notary public applications are handled through GSCCCA resources. Passport applications are available through the clerk's office and through the U.S. Department of State travel site.

• PeachCourt - mandatory civil case e-filing for Georgia Superior Court civil matters referenced by the clerk.
• GSCCCA eFile - electronic filing for supported real estate, plat, UCC, and lien documents.
• GSCCCA eCertification - request or authenticate electronic certified documents when available.
• GSCCCA Search - real estate, PT-61, UCC, lien, plat, notary, and certified-search tools.
• travel.state.gov - passport forms that the local clerk page references for passport service.

Mail and Online Filings

Mail for Superior Court Clerk matters should be sent to P.O. Box 231, Gibson, GA 30810, unless the clerk gives different instructions for a specific filing. The courthouse counter is at 62 East Main Street in Gibson. Online filing depends on the record type: civil Superior Court cases use PeachCourt, while real estate documents, plats, UCCs, and tax liens use GSCCCA eFile. GSCCCA search tools can help with land, lien, UCC, plat, PT-61, and notary indexes, but the research did not locate a Glascock County public case-search portal for civil, criminal, juvenile, probate, magistrate, traffic, or warrant case records.

The official Georgia Code access link is the state source for reviewing the text of Georgia public-records law.

Use official law and court-custodian sources when a request may involve sealed material, juvenile files, restricted criminal-history data, DD-214 records, or redacted personal identifiers.
