The Genesee County court records portal provides access to case information, court contacts, and docket resources for cases filed in Flint and across Genesee County.
One thing to be aware of when searching Flint court dockets: records from before July 31, 2014 may need special handling. Michigan's Automatic Clean Slate law removed certain older records from public access. If you are searching for an older case and it does not appear online, it may have been sealed automatically. For pre-2014 records, you need to submit your request by email, in person, or by mail rather than using the online search tool.
Note: Case records from before July 31, 2014 require an email, in-person, or mail request due to Michigan's Automatic Clean Slate law. Contact the court before submitting to confirm availability.

Flint Court Records: Limits and Exceptions
Most Flint court dockets are public under MCR 8.119. But there are several categories that are not available online or are restricted entirely. Juvenile cases under MCL 600.1750 are confidential. Personal Protection Orders (PPOs) are not online under MCR 3.705. Cases handled under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (HYTA) are sealed. First-time drug offenses under MCL 333.7411 are not searchable online. And records from before July 31, 2014 that were automatically expunged under the Clean Slate Law will not appear in search results.
Courts also redact certain personal information before sharing documents. Under MCR 8.119(H)(5), protected identifying information gets removed before records are provided to the public. This applies to both electronic and paper copies of court documents. If you see a redacted field in a record, it is there by law and cannot be released through a standard request.
For formal background checks, use Michigan State Police's ICHAT system rather than the court docket search. ICHAT draws from a statewide conviction database and is the appropriate tool for employment or licensing background checks. Each search costs $10.
