Direct answer
For St. Lucie court and official records, use the Clerk’s online searches first and preserve the case number, book/page or other index details. Submit the request form only for material not available online, and expect access rules or redactions to vary by record type.
St. Lucie Clerk records have several online entry points
| Need | Online route | When a request is still useful |
|---|---|---|
| Court case | Court Case Search | Request copies or material that is not available in the online view. |
| Recorded deed / mortgage / other official record | Official Records Search | Use book/page or party/year details when a later copy request is necessary. |
| Electronic certified record | Clerk E-Certify | Use the certification product when the task is obtaining an e-certified record, not just locating an index entry. |
| Plat | Plat Search | Search the plat system before describing the same material in a general request. |
The Clerk tells you which identifiers make a request actionable
Court file
Case number
A case number is the strongest direct identifier for a court-record request when it is already known.
Official record
Book and page
The Clerk points users to the Official Records Search to find book/page before submitting a request.
Fallback
Party names + document year
When neither case number nor book/page is provided, the request form requires party names and the document year.
Access level
User agreement for enhanced court access
Some select court records require an enhanced-access agreement rather than being exposed identically to every anonymous search.
