Shopping for Records?
By Louis Tomeo, Director of Criminal Court Services
The Clerk & Comptroller’s Web site now offers something new that makes gathering information easier than ever. The online “Shopping Cart” feature allows people to request customized civil and criminal reports. For example, you can request lists of the number of Palm Beach County traffic citations, foreclosures, evictions, divorces and more. Just go to www.mypalmbeachclerk.com and click on Purchase Online Civil & Criminal Reports to place your order. The cost and turn-around time depends on the complexity of the report. Credit cards are accepted and a link to your report is sent right to your e-mail address. This service is very popular with the media, court and legal officials. More than 400 reports have been requested since the “Shopping Cart” was launched in January 2007.
