Pennsylvania official directory

One statewide UJS Case Search form. The Case Information page says public web docket sheets cover appellate courts, criminal courts of common pleas, magisterial district courts, and Philadelphia Municipal Court, and that a court-summary report is available for criminal common pleas and Philadelphia Municipal Court. The public-records court-case page says magisterial district information includes civil, criminal, traffic, non-traffic, and landlord/tenant cases. The Case Search FAQ describes magisterial criminal dockets as cases whose most serious charge is a misdemeanor or felony, and common pleas criminal dockets as all major criminal cases, plus common pleas summary appeals and miscellaneous criminal-related matters. Viewing is described as free. Recent filing-office entries may not appear immediately. This is not a criminal-history check.

• Juvenile docket sheets are not available on the UJS Portal even with correct search information (Case Search FAQ).
• Civil cases in the Courts of Common Pleas are not available on the UJS Portal (Case Search FAQ). A Civil docket type on the form is described for magisterial district court financial disputes.
• Expunged cases, cases pending expungement, sealed cases, and limited-access cases (Act 5 of 2016 / Clean Slate) are not visible to the public through Case Search.
• Case records destroyed under the judiciary record-retention policy are not available on the portal.

The Department of Corrections service page says the locator covers state-sentenced inmates and parolees under department supervision. It excludes people incarcerated in another state or in a county facility. It says other personal information can be self-reported and may be inaccurate, and that a last name or inmate number is the search it recommends. This is not a county-jail locator and not a court docket search.

• County facilities are explicitly excluded.
• Incarceration in another state is explicitly excluded.
• Private information is not included.
• Not a court case search.

DOC publishes a county-by-county adult probation contact table and states that county probation and parole are under the Pennsylvania Commission for Crime and Delinquency. This is not the DOC inmate and parolee locator, and it is not a county jail roster. The page does not say the table shows who is currently supervised.

• Not a person locator.
• Not a county jail roster.
• Not state-prison custody.
• County supervision is not described as DOC incarceration.

Checked 2026-09-30

DOC says it oversees parole supervision statewide and that parole offices supervise people released from DOC incarceration. Person lookup for department-supervised parolees is the inmate and parolee locator, not this overview. Paying parole fees is a separate payment service and was not treated as custody status.

• Not a person search by itself.
• County probation is a different page and is attributed to the Commission for Crime and Delinquency.
• Not a county jail roster.

The Office of County Inspections and Services inspects county correctional institutions under Title 37, Chapter 95. It publishes one workbook of county prison contacts. The page says the workbook has tabs for a main directory, governing authority, records contacts, EOR and GIR contacts, PREA contacts, and training contacts. The fetched workbook also had a Sheriff tab. The main directory has 146 data rows, more than one row per county. It is addresses and administrators, not an inmate search. County websites in the workbook were not visited.

• Not an inmate locator.
• DOC states it does not operate county prisons.
• Not a court case search.
• Not the state-prison locator.

The policy governs public access to case records of the Supreme Court, Superior Court, Commonwealth Court, courts of common pleas, Philadelphia Municipal Court, and magisterial district courts. It does not require a court to offer remote access. If remote access is offered, Section 10.0 applies. Web dockets on the UJS portal are pointed to the electronic policy.

• Remote access excludes facility-access limits in Section 9.0, plus juror, witness (other than expert), and victim identifiers in criminal cases, lodged transcripts, in forma pauperis petitions, most family-court case records except limited docket fields, orders, and opinions, and most probate and adult-protective-services case records except those limited docket fields.
• Nothing in the policy requires remote access.
• Paper requests may be oral, or written when the custodian says the request is complex or voluminous.
• This policy is not itself a search form.

Web docket sheets are internet representations of data entered in PACMS, CPCMS, GTS, or MDJS. The policy excludes specified data from public electronic access, including Social Security numbers, driver license numbers, victim, informant, juror, and witness information, a party's street address except city, state, and ZIP code, SID numbers, financial account numbers, sealed or legally restricted information, arrest-warrant information and supporting affidavits until execution, and identifying guardianship-tracking information.

• Filed-document images are outside the electronic case-record definition.
• Identifying GTS guardianship information is not public electronic access.
• Arrest warrant information and supporting affidavits are not publicly accessible in the electronic case record until execution.
• SID numbers are not accessible to the public in an electronic case record, even though the Case Search form lists SID as a Search By option. No SID search was run.

Statewide AOPC directory of clerks of courts with county, office address, and phone. The page does not say which case types the office keeps. The common pleas overview says those courts hear major civil and criminal cases and lists clerks of courts separately from prothonotaries.

• Not a case search.
• The directory page does not state a criminal-only or civil-only scope.

Checked 2026-09-30

Checked 2026-09-30

Contact list only. Each row includes a district-court number in the 05-2 and 05-3 series, which matches Allegheny judicial district 05.
