Accessing Records Through Online Systems

• Navigate to Putnam County's Online Court Record System - https://www.civitekflorida.com/ocrs/county/54/ 
• Select "Public" access level when prompted unless you have registered for more access
• Enter the case number or defendant name to search
• Review the docket entries for your specific case
• Click the document icon next to relevant docket entries to view records - if there is a lock, clicking the lock will send to to View on Request (VOR) and a staff member will have to review it for possible redactions prior to release. This can take several days depending on the current volume of requests.

What If You Can't Find It Online?

Occasionally, you might search for a document and find that it's not yet available through the online system. This doesn't necessarily mean the document doesn't exist—it may simply not have been digitized or uploaded yet. 

If a document isn't available online after a reasonable search, you have a couple of options. You can contact the courthouse directly to inquire about the document's status and whether it's available for in-person review. Court clerks are generally helpful and can direct you to the right department or tell you when the document might be available online. Alternatively, if you need the document urgently, visiting the courthouse in person may be your fastest option, though this obviously requires more time and travel.
