A self-addressed stamped envelope must be included in documents to be filed in order to receive conformed copies back.

We do not research over the telephone. There is a $15 fee for a clerk to search for a file if the search takes over 10 minutes. If requesting by mail, please remit a check or money order payable to Merced Superior Court along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.

You may also use the public computer in the Unlimited Civil office to lookup case information.

Please visit the Fees page for the current list of fees.

Please be aware the superior court is not authorized by law to give legal advice to private individuals. If you are seeking legal advice as to which forms should be filed, you need to contact a private concern or visit the court self-help center.
