The Public Records Online (PRO) System was created and is maintained by the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts. The system is intended as a convenience to the citizens of Montgomery County for the purpose of obtaining public record information regarding Traffic, Criminal, and Civil cases filed in the Montgomery County Municipal Court; Criminal and Civil cases filed in the General Division Common Pleas Court; Domestic Relations cases filed in the Domestic Relations Common Pleas Court; and Court of Appeals cases filed in the Second District Appellate Court of Ohio. No warranty or guarantee is provided or implied through the availability of the PRO system. No certification of authenticity can be assumed regarding the accuracy of the information provided by the PRO system. Those wishing to obtain “certified copies” of documents contained in official court files or certification of the official docket must appear in person at the Clerk of Courts offices and request such certification of copies.

Every effort is made to insure the accuracy of the information found in the PRO system. The docket entries found in the PRO system are the exact entries found on the official court docket in the respective courts.

The document images associated with individual cases are redacted images of documents filed in the respective courts. Normally, documents filed with the Clerk of Courts are available to be viewed within 48 to 72 hours of their filing. Occasionally, errors occur in the processing of the document images resulting in the incorrect association of document images with case docket entries. Not all documents are available for public viewing due to the confidential nature of some of the information found in those documents. Also, technical problems occasionally arise which block the viewing of imaged documents.
