This Is Not a Court or Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve dockets, alter court dates, seal records, issue certified copies, accept payments, or give legal advice. The Circuit Clerk, municipal court, or court that holds the matter must handle those requests.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
Use the office or official search route that matches the request. A case result is helpful for locating a matter, but the custodian remains responsible for an official copy and for confirming current status.
- A state-court docket or case number: search Missouri Case.net, then contact the Madison County Circuit Clerk if the record or document needs clarification.
- A court date or setting: review Court Dates, then verify the actual setting with the clerk or court.
- A certified judgment or copy: request it from the Madison County Circuit Clerk, the official custodian for Circuit Court of Madison County, Missouri records.
- A Fredericktown municipal matter: use the court-specific contact at 120 West Main Street, Fredericktown, MO 63645, telephone (573) 783-7401, and confirm the current counter location before going.
- A federal case: Madison County falls within the Eastern District of Missouri, Southeastern Division, with the Cape Girardeau federal route. Use the federal clerk and PACER, not Missouri Case.net.
For Madison County circuit-court dockets and records, the primary counter is the Madison County Circuit Clerk, Tenia Hermann, at the Madison County Justice Center, 3 Court Square, Fredericktown, MO 63645. The Circuit Clerk is on the first floor. Call the county main line at (573) 783-2176; the Circuit Clerk fax is (573) 783-5920.

The historic Madison County Courthouse at 1 Court Square is a separate county-government building. The County Clerk is located there for county administrative and election records. It is not the correct first stop for the Circuit Court docket or case file.
