Access to Case Files

You may access and view case files at our Brockton or Plymouth location.

In order to access and view a case file, you must know the case docket number.  If you do not know the docket number, you may obtain it from the public computer index terminals at either location or at the Registry of Deeds location, 50 Obery Street, Plymouth.  The information in the index terminals is not presently available on the internet.

The following types of matters are stored in Brockton and usually may be view there without advance notice:

	Paternity
	Domestic Abuse (209A)

The following types of matters are stored in Plymouth and usually may be viewed there without advance notice:

	Domestic Relations
	Estates and Wills
	Adoption
	Equity
	Change of Name

In the event that you wish to view a case file, but are unable to visit the storage location, you may request that the file be brought to the other court location by filling out a Request to View File form (link) and submitting it to us at least two (2) full days before the requested view date.  We will attempt to accommodate your request, but note that files are sometimes not immediately available, as they may be in the possession of a judge or staff member for required work.  Delivery of the file to the requested location also needs to be arranged.
