Access Alamosa County Clerk Records

Alamosa County Clerk of Court

The court clerk function for Alamosa County sits with the Colorado Judicial Branch at Alamosa Combined Court. The combined court is the public counter for both Alamosa County Court and Alamosa District Court case business. That means one location supports misdemeanor, traffic, small-claims, protection-order, civil, felony, domestic-relations, juvenile, probate, and mental-health case records when those records are part of the state court file.

The official court location page lists Alamosa Combined Court at 8955 Independence Way, Alamosa, CO 81101, phone 719-589-4996, email alamosaclerk@judicial.state.co.us, and hours Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The court page links local docket tools, records requests, interpreter requests, transcript requests, jury information, ADA assistance, collections, virtual courtrooms, and self-help resources.

For county-level clerk services outside the court file, use the Alamosa County Clerk and Recorder. That office is the right channel for recorded real estate documents, marriage licenses, elections, motor vehicle work, and county vital-record agency services.

Alamosa County Court Clerk Duties

The Clerk of Court receives filings, maintains case records, processes document requests, issues certified and exemplified copies, collects some court fees, and supports courtroom calendars. Public users often start with the docket search because it shows hearing date, time, case number, courtroom, hearing type, party name, and location. The docket result does not provide downloadable pleadings or orders. For the actual document, use the state record and document request form or contact the Alamosa court clerk.

The court request form separates family, criminal, civil, and probate matters. Family requests include divorce decrees, parenting plans, separation agreements, support orders, and petitions. Criminal requests include complaint or information, disposition or sentence orders, protection orders, and tickets. Civil requests include orders for judgment, transcripts of judgment, satisfaction of judgment, and protection orders. Probate requests include letters, wills, trusts, applications, petitions, closing documents, claims, and date-of-death information.

• Use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search for Alamosa County hearing information and public docket entries.
• Use the court record/document request form for pleadings, orders, ROA summaries, decrees, tickets, probate letters, and certified copies.
• Contact the combined court for in-person questions about Alamosa County Court and Alamosa District Court records.
• Use county CORA or the Clerk and Recorder only for county-held records outside the state court case file.

Note: The sheriff page directs hearing-date, docket, and court-case questions to Colorado Judicial Branch or the court phone number, not to law enforcement.

Request Alamosa County Certified Copies

Certified copies are used when a court document must prove that it came from the official court file. Divorce decrees, disposition and sentence orders, probate letters, judgments, and satisfaction documents are common examples. The Colorado Judicial Branch form lets a requester ask for certification or exemplification, which is a more formal authentication often used when a document must be filed outside the original court.

1. Identify the case number if possible. If the number is unknown, search the docket by name, business name, attorney, case class, and date range.
2. Open the Colorado Judicial Branch record/document request form and select the county or location of records.
3. Enter party information, requestor contact details, case type, year filed if known, and the document category that fits the record.
4. Check certification or exemplification if the copy must be used for a legal, licensing, out-of-state, or agency purpose.
5. Wait for clerk response about release, fee, identification, pickup, mail, or other delivery. The form states that responses are generally provided within three business days unless circumstances require more time.

Suppressed cases, juvenile files, probate records, and documents with confidential or protected information may require a U.S. government-issued photo ID. Court staff may also restrict access under Colorado statutes, court rules, Supreme Court rules, Chief Justice Directives, local administrative orders, or other authority.

Alamosa County Clerk Request Fields

The state court request form is more detailed than a simple email request. It asks for both the requester's contact information and the case details needed to locate the file. A complete request reduces follow-up because the Alamosa County Clerk of Court can match the person, case type, year, and requested document before calculating fees or checking access limits.

Alamosa County Clerk of Court Fees

Fees for Alamosa County court documents come from the Colorado Judicial Branch court-record request table captured in the research. These are court copy and document fees, not county recorder fees. Recorder fees are handled on the separate county Clerk and Recorder page because that office preserves recorded instruments and marriage records rather than state court files.

For fines, fees, and payment plans in the 12th Judicial District, the collections page says fines and fees are due the day of sentencing unless a payment plan is approved. The page lists online, phone, in-person, and mail channels, and says mail payments should be check or money order, not cash.

Alamosa County Clerk Forms

The court clerk does not use one local form for every Alamosa County record. The Colorado Judicial Branch form library and self-help pages drive the court side of the process. Probate, family, criminal, traffic, small claims, protection orders, interpreter requests, transcripts, and record requests each have different forms or web channels. The clerk can process filings and copies, but the correct form depends on the case type and the document requested.

The county Clerk and Recorder page captured in the manifest is a useful contrast because it shows the non-court clerk side of Alamosa County government. The official Alamosa County Clerk and Recorder page lists Mari Felix and county services outside the court file.

That distinction matters because a court decree, probate order, or sentence order belongs with the Alamosa County Clerk of Court, while recorded documents and marriage-license records route to the county Clerk and Recorder.

Alamosa County Clerk Access Channels

Alamosa County Clerk of Court access is best understood as a chain of channels. Start online for hearing dates through the docket search. Use the court record/document request form for copies, certified copies, decrees, orders, and ROA summaries. Use the combined court counter or phone line when the file type, access status, or document name is unclear. Use county CORA or the Clerk and Recorder only when the record is held by a county office rather than the state court.
