Records requests go in writing to the Records Division at the Lake Street address. Processing time runs 5 to 10 business days based on the volume of pending requests.

Sitka Trial Courts and CourtView

Sitka Trial Courts are at 304 Lake Street, Suite 202, Sitka, AK 99835. Phone the court at (907) 747-3291. The court falls under the First Judicial District. Superior Court hears felony criminal cases, civil matters over $100,000, domestic relations, and probate. District Court handles misdemeanors, civil cases up to $100,000, and small claims up to $10,000. Business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

Case lookups are free through CourtView. Search by case number, party name, attorney, or ticket number. The system shows non-confidential trial records from about 1990 forward. Copy fees at the court run $0.25 per page for standard copies and $5.00 plus $2.00 per page for certified copies. eFiling is available for some documents, and in-person and mail filings are also accepted.

Most records from 1990 onward are on CourtView. Pre-1990 cases require clerk assistance. The clerk can pull paper files and index cards for older matters, but these are not searchable online. Under AS 22.35.030, some criminal records come off the public portal 60 days after an acquittal or full dismissal.
