NO FCRA USE. Michigan Court Docket is privately owned, with no government or court affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide services for credit checks, employment, housing, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site helps readers locate general court docket and case-record resources in Michigan. It is not a consumer reporting agency or a private investigation business.
1. What This Website Is
Michigan Court Docket is an independent reference service. It has no connection to a court or government office, does not store official case registers, and cannot obtain a docket, alter a hearing date, or submit a court filing for a visitor.
The site points readers toward Michigan’s public case-search routes, the state court system, and the local clerks that maintain court records. MiCOURT Case Search covers participating courts and does not replace the Circuit Court County Clerk, District Court Clerk, or Register of Probate that holds a particular file. The Michigan Court Rules, including MCR 8.119, govern access to trial-court case histories. Michigan FOIA covers records of applicable public bodies; the judiciary is excluded when performing judicial functions under MCL 15.232.
2. Informational Use Only
All material here is general information about court dockets and case records in Michigan. It is not an official register, court order, or legal opinion and cannot replace advice from a lawyer. Use the information as a starting point, then confirm a deadline, event, or result with the clerk or court that holds the case.
3. Rules for Using This Site

- Use a name search or case result to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
- Send bots, scrapers, or other automated tools to the site

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Michigan Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide services for decisions about a person’s eligibility. You agree not to use information from this site or a linked tool to:

5. No Legal Advice
Nothing on Michigan Court Docket is legal advice. General information about Michigan court procedures cannot determine how a charge, order, filing, or deadline applies to a particular person. Consult a licensed Michigan attorney for advice about an individual matter.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Information is provided “as is.” We do not warrant that:
- Partner search tools will return complete or correct matches
- Every statement will remain current or complete
- The service will operate without interruption
- The pages will be free from errors or security issues
Michigan docket information can change as cases are filed, settings are moved, records are restricted, or judgments are entered. We work to keep this reference material useful, but online results may have gaps. Nothing here is an official statement from a Michigan court or clerk. Confirm the current register and any date or disposition with the record-holding court.

We are not responsible for its information, data practices, charges, or availability. Check each provider’s terms before using its service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
No. Michigan Court Docket has no access to a court’s case-management system. A visitor can use Case Lookup or the County Directory to find the relevant clerk.
Can you change or confirm my court date?
No. Only the court can set or change a hearing date. Check Court Dates and confirm the current setting with the office that holds the case.
Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?
No. A third-party result may be incomplete or out of date. The official case history comes from the court that maintains the record.
