As the new Oldham County Judicial Center nears opening March 2, the temporary Oldham County Courthouse in Crestwood will be closed Feb. 23-27 for moving. Court proceedings and other functions, including those at the Oldham County Office of Circuit Court Clerk, will be suspended until the opening. The Oldham County Judicial Center at 100 W. Main St. in LaGrange blends the new and historic, incorporating approximately 50,000 square feet of additional space with the 19th century Oldham County Courthouse and increasing security. All local court operations will be housed in the 56,300-square-foot, two-story facility. A dedication ceremony will take place April 30. https://kcoj.info/OldhamMove2026

Requesting Court Case Records
Circuit court clerks are responsible for managing the records of Kentucky's Circuit, Family, District and Business courts. The Office of Circuit Court Clerk in each county is the starting point for requesting copies of court records from cases in that county. Call or visit the office to access case records. For more information on obtaining case information, visit the Request Court Records page.
Depending on the type and age of a case, the court case record may be stored in the court clerk's office or at a record facility, or it may have been destroyed as authorized by the Kentucky Court of Justice's Record Retention schedules. If the court clerk states the court case record is being stored at a record facility and is available for public access, the court clerk will identify the record facility and provide the case and file locator numbers to assist with access and copies.
