Order Online with E-Certify

Purchase electronic certified court documents online through E-Certify. Find the documents you want in eCaseView, add them to your E-Certify shopping cart, then pay and checkout to immediately download your secure electronic certified documents.

Electronic certified documents will have a unique code as well as an electronic stamp and seal at the bottom of the document. Anyone can authenticate electronic certified documents at any time by using a clickable link on the document's cover page or scanning the QR code on the cover page with a smartphone.

  • agendas@2x Look Up Receipt

 

Only redacted documents that are viewable in eCaseView can be ordered through E-Certify. Some records have statutory or court-ordered viewing restrictions and might not be viewable online, or may be limited to registered users or the attorney of record.  See what documents are not viewable in eCaseView.

Cost

Electronic certified copies are $8 per document, which includes a $2 statutory fee plus a $6 service fee. A 3.5% payment processing fee will apply to transactions paid by credit or debit cards, Google Pay and Apple Pay.

Uncertified copies of court documents are free to view online, save and print.

Make sure to verify that the agency you’re working with accepts eCertified documents. If the agency does not accept these documents, you can purchase manually-stamped certified documents from our Records Service Center in Room 4.2500 or at any one of our branch locations. Requests may be made by mail, email or phone and can be picked up in person or mailed to you. 

* If you have already procured an electronic copy that was not accepted by an institution, the Clerk’s office will provide a manually-stamped certified document free of charge.

E-Certify requires payment and cannot be used by individuals who are entitled to either free or prepayment deferred copies. Requests from such individuals must be made either in person, by phone or to orweb@mypalmbeachclerk.com to be handled during business hours. Requests for refunds from such individuals cannot be accommodated.

FAQs

  • My certified document was not in the email. How can I get it?
    Please open the email you received and use the "Click Here" link in the email to download your document.
  • I did not receive an email after I completed my eCertified document transaction. How can I get my certified document?
    1. Go to www.clerkecertify.com and click on the yellow "Receipt Lookup" button or "Receipt Lookup" at the top of the page. Enter the order's receipt number and the email address used for your transaction to retrieve the document.
    2. If the document is not found, you may have mistyped your email address. Please contact our Records Service Center for assistance at ORWEB@mypalmbeachclerk.com or 561-355-2932.
  • Why am I being charged $8 and a payment processing fee for my online certification?

    Triedata, our E-Certify vendor, charges a $6 processing fee per document for the online convenience, and the Clerk charges the $2 statutory certification fee per document. The payment processor, MyPaymentPortal.com, applies a 3.5% surcharge for credit card, debit card, Google Pay and Apple Pay transactions.

  • I need an unredacted copy of a court record. Do I need to come to the clerk’s office?

    If you are a party to the case or an attorney of record, you can request an unredacted certified copy of a document in your case file by completing this form: Request Unredacted Certified Copies of Court Records. Or, you can visit our Records Service Center in the Main Courthouse (Room 4.2500) or at any of our four branch locations to obtain unredacted certified copies.

  • What are the benefits of eCertified documents?
    E-Certified documents provide enhanced security. Documents that have been tampered with are flagged when verified by the receiver. Triedata uses advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure that the original document is kept intact. Additionally, there is the added convenience of accessing these documents anytime, anywhere from the comfort of your office or home.
  • My guardianship/probate letter is not marked “in full force and effect”. How can I get a valid letter?

    eCertification offers superior security to the wet stamps used previously. Notwithstanding, eCertification technology is new and not all banks are aware of the change. If your bank requires the “in full force and effect” stamp on the document, bring the letter to our office and we will wet stamp it for you at no additional charge. Please note that revoked letters are ineligible for certification.

  • I keep getting errors when I try to get a certified document and I was told that it is my browser. What browser should I be using?
    eCaseView works best in Internet Explorer 11 or newer and the latest versions of Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
  • If I misplace my document, can I download it again?
    The download link is available for 30 days from the date of purchase. After 30 days, you will be required to repurchase your certified document.
  • How do I purchase electronic certified copies in eCaseView?
    1. Go to eCaseView and search for the case you need.
    2. Click on the cart icon to the left of a document to add it to your E-Certify shopping cart.
    3. If needed, add additional documents to your cart.
    4. To check out, click on the cart icon at the top of the docket with the number on it:
      shopping cart with a number on it
    5. Follow the instructions to complete your order and pay.
    6. Your documents will be available to download immediately.
    7. You will receive two receipts, one for payment and one with a link to the documents you purchased. Your documents will remain available to download for 30 days.

    See the E-Certify User Guide for detailed instructions.

  • How do I verify an eCertified document that was emailed to me?
    Visit E-Certify and enter the unique certification number on the document or upload the document. Recipients of e-Certified documents can also authenticate them anytime, from anywhere using a clickable link on the document's cover page or by scanning the QR code.
  • How can I get certified copies of my divorce?
    Court records in family law matters are only available online to registered users of our eCaseView system at www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/ecaseview. Follow the steps on our website to register as a certified user and access your documents. Otherwise, please visit our Records Service Center in Room 4.2500 or any one of our branch locations.
  • How can I get a certified copy?
    Certified copies of court documents and official records are available at our Records Service Center in the Main Courthouse (Room 4.2500) or at any one of our branch locations. Certified copies of court records can also be purchased online through our public website at www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/ecaseview.
  • How do electronic certified documents work?

    Each electronic certified document uses advanced encryption to produce a tamper-proof electronically certified document.

    Each document will have a unique electronic reference number for identification printed on each page and contains a digital signature identifying the certifier and tamper-evident seal validating the document as a true and accurate copy of the original recorded. 

    Electronically certified documents are available to download for 30 days after purchase. There is no limit to the number of times you may download the PDF during that time.

    You can verify electronically certified documents by using the clickable link on the document's cover page, scanning the QR code on the cover page with a smartphone or entering a unique code online in eCaseView. There is no fee to check certification.

  • Do electronic certified documents expire?
    No, not generally. Certified documents are valid from the time they are created and never expire. But there are a few exceptions (for example: guardianship and probate documents). Certified copies of letters of administration expire 60 days from certification or when a judge’s order supersedes a prior ruling.
  • Can I order unredacted electronic certified documents?

    Redacted means that protected information has been blacked out, such as social security numbers or bank account numbers. If you are a party to the case or an attorney of record, you can request an unredacted certified copy of a document in your case file by completing this form: Request Unredacted Certified Copies of Court Records. Or, you can visit our Records Service Center in the Main Courthouse (Room 4.2500) or at any of our four branch locations to obtain unredacted certified copies.

  • Can I View on Request (VOR) and request an electronic certified copy of a document simultaneously?
    Certain documents are viewable only upon request. VOR and eCertification are separate transactions. Once you receive the VOR completion notice, access eCaseView and retrieve your certified copy. 
  • Can I make additional copies of the eCertified documents I purchased?
    Yes. Your eCertified document may be forwarded by email or printed as many times as you like. Always save your certified document to your computer’s hard drive since the email link will only be accessible for 30 days.
  • Can I still get certified copies in person or by mail?
    Yes, certified copies can still be purchased in person or by mail.
  • Can I get an unredacted certified copy of a court document online?

    If you are a party to the case or an attorney of record, you can request an unredacted certified copy of a document in your case file by completing this form: Request Unredacted Certified Copies of Court Records. Or, you can visit our Records Service Center in the Main Courthouse (Room 4.2500) or at any of our four branch locations to obtain unredacted certified copies.

  • Are Exemplified Copies available to be certified online?
    Certified Exemplified Copies are available for purchase by mail or in person at our Records Service Center in the Main Courthouse (Room 4.2500) or at any one of our branch locations. Certified Exemplified Copies cannot be provided in person same day. 
  • I get an error when trying to access your online services from outside of the United States. What am I doing wrong?

    For security purposes, you must use a VPN (virtual private network) to access online services such as eCaseView, Official Records, Jury Services and more from outside of North America. The Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller’s office does not explicitly endorse a specific VPN. Any VPN that simulates the user’s traffic as originating in the United States should be sufficient. Here is one option:

    1. Navigate to https://account.protonvpn.com/signup/account and select Get Free to create a ProtonVPN account.
    2. Follow the steps on the page to create an account.
    3. Once your account is created, select the appropriate ProtonVPN Client depending on what kind of computer you are using (Windows/Linux/MacOS, etc.) to download the VPN.
    4. Install the application.
    5. Open the application and sign in.
    6. Once signed in, select to use the United States on the left side of the application as your IP country of origin.
    7. You should now be able to access our online services without issue. Remember to disable the VPN after you complete your transaction, or your computer will run slower than usual.
