South Dakota Court Records
The South Dakota Court Records website is an online informative resource designed to help facilitate public understanding of the state’s court system and its judicial structure, from the South Dakota Supreme Court at the apex to the trial courts such as the Circuit and Magistrate courts. In addition to an overview of the court system, it offers insight into each court's roles and functions.
Under the South Dakota Sunshine Law, residents of the state have the right to access, inspect, or obtain any public government record except in instances where records are confidential, protected by law, or sealed by a court order. Besides providing information about the organization of the state’s courts, this website offers general guidance on the direct procurement and retrieval of available case documents and related South Dakota public records from official custodians, where feasible.
Operating autonomously as a private entity, distinct from any affiliation with state government agencies, the South Dakota Court Records website may provide access to some public court records. This site is also equipped with a search tool to facilitate searches, without the need for a personal I.D or providing any personal information. Accessible records may include other South Dakota Public Records, such as public crime statistics, criminal history records, sex offender databases, and jail information. However, the availability of such records may vary between counties. We do not guarantee accuracy.
