NO FCRA USE. Minnesota Court Docket is independently owned and has no government or court affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for any use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The service points readers to Minnesota court dockets and case-record resources; it is neither a private investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This independent service is a private reference site, not a government department or court. It does not keep official dockets or court files, retrieve them for a visitor, change a hearing, or submit court papers.
It directs readers to Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO), the Minnesota Judicial Branch, and the County District Court Administrator who holds a District Court file. For state judicial records, Minn. Stat. § 13.90 exempts the judiciary from chapter 13 and places access under Supreme Court rules. The Rules of Public Access to the Records of the Minnesota Judicial Branch govern inspection and electronic access, including the difference between a record at the courthouse and a remote MCRO view.
2. Informational Use Only
All material is informational. It describes Minnesota court dockets and case records, but it is not the official docket, a court order, or legal counsel. Check important case details with the court or County District Court Administrator that holds the file.
3. Rules for Using This Site
By using the service, you agree not to:
- Use automated bots, scrapers, or other tools against the pages
- Break a federal, Minnesota, or local law
- Try to enter systems or areas without permission
- Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
- Make decisions for a purpose restricted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act
- Disrupt the service or keep other visitors from using it
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Minnesota Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare consumer reports. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provide a service for a use covered by that law. You must not use information from these pages or a linked tool to:
- Make a credit or insurance eligibility decision
- Decide whether a person may be hired or kept in a job
- Evaluate a housing or rental application
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
- Use the information for another purpose regulated by the FCRA
Any report used for a purpose regulated by the FCRA must come from a service that meets that law’s requirements.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is not legal advice and cannot determine how a Minnesota case, charge, order, or deadline affects a particular person. Ask a licensed Minnesota attorney for advice about an individual matter.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
All content is supplied "as is." No promise is made that:
- Partner search results will be complete or correct
- The site will operate without a service interruption
- Every page is free from error, software defect, or security weakness
- Information will remain accurate, complete, or current
Minnesota case events can change as filings arrive, dates move, or cases are sealed, dismissed, or amended. A page here is not an official statement from a court or clerk. Confirm the latest docket entry or hearing date with the court that holds the case before relying on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
No. This service does not access a court’s internal docket system. Use the Minnesota case search or reach the proper court administration office through the county directory.
Can you change or confirm my court date?
No. A court sets and confirms its hearings. Check the court calendar and verify the date with the County District Court Administrator for that file.
Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?
No. A linked tool may be incomplete or out of date. The court record held by the responsible county office is the official source.
