What to use for wisconsin criminal court records

Wisconsin Court System provides public case-search routes for circuit courts, the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals.

Route

Need	Official source	What it can establish
Case-search route.	Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA).	Circuit-court case information about parties, dates, filings and orders; it does not display or sell the case documents.
Appellate case.	Wisconsin Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Access (WSCCA).	Use the Court System’s separate Supreme Court/Court of Appeals search for an appellate matter.

Check

Verify the person. Confirm the person before combining this result with other records: compare name spelling, date of birth, source jurisdiction, and filing or booking number so later review can reproduce why the match was accepted.
Finish with the record owner. When proof matters, follow the custodian’s copy or certification route after locating the record. The final request can then match the exact record form you need.

Steps

01
Identify the court
Identify the court system and filing location before searching. A case result is only meaningful within the court system that produced it.
02
Name the record product
To see circuit-case documents or transcripts, go to the courthouse in the county where the action was filed. Contact that county’s clerk of circuit court with the case number and document name to ask about copies, certification and charges; do not expect a WCCA document download.
03
Handle a missing or restricted result
Recheck spelling, filing county and court level, then ask the clerk about the case. Confidential or sealed documents are not generally public; no online match does not prove that no case exists. A court search is not a statewide criminal-history repository check.
