Unless sealed or otherwise restricted, documents filed in the Court of Appeals are public record and available for viewing and/or copying upon request.  Records received from the lower courts that have been sealed by that court will remain sealed in the Court of Appeals.  Requests to view Court of Appeals files can be made in person at the Clerk’s Office.  No file or filed documents may be removed from the Clerk’s Office by a member of the public; all viewing must be done in the Clerk’s Office viewing room.

Counsel and self-represented parties who have filed electronically through AZTurboCourt may view any document filed in that case online through AZTurboCourt. (There may be a delay in accessing a document that has been filed in paper form; these documents may not be available for online viewing for two to three days). 

Requesting Copies (Copy Request Form)

Please note that state law requires the Court of Appeals to collect a copy fee of .50 per page for copy requests.  The number of pages of a document may be ascertained by calling the Clerk’s Office at (602) 452-6700 or by emailing the court at [email protected].  A certification fee of $17.00 is required if the request is for a Certified Copy of the document.  Previously granted Applications for Deferral or Waiver of Court Fees do not waive or defer any copy or certification fees.  Fees are due before any requested copies are collected. 

If you are requesting copies in multiple cases, please use one form per case. The Clerk’s Office is unable to make change and can only accept payment in the exact amount due.  The following options are available for payment:

• Counter.  Payment may be made through check, cashier’s check, money order or cash (exact change only) by coming to the counter of the Clerk’s Office.
• Mail.  Payment may be made by mailing a check, cashier’s check or money order to the Court along with the copy request form.
• Payment App.  Payment may be made through a payment application (fees apply) in the document viewing room located in the Clerk’s Office.
• Online Payment.  An online credit/debit card payment option for copy fees, requiring an additional user fee, may be obtained by calling or emailing the Clerk’s Office.
