This Is Not a Court or Government Office. This private reference resource cannot retrieve official dockets, confirm or change a hearing, issue a certified copy, accept a filing, alter a record, or provide legal advice. Contact the court or clerk directly for those services.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
Use the official route that matches the request rather than sending a court-record question to a county or city administrative office.
- Public docket or case status: use Missouri Case.net by name, case number, filing date, or hearing search.
- Hearing date or setting: check the live docket, then confirm it with the Circuit Clerk before appearing.
- Certified judgment, order, or docket: ask the Circuit Clerk for the current copy and certification procedure.
- Dent court file or record request: provide the case number, division or category, document description, and plain or certified-copy preference.
- City ordinance text or local-government material: use the appropriate city records route, not the Circuit Clerk, unless a judicial case file is requested.
For Dent court dockets and records, contact Kristi (Morton) Craig, Dent County Circuit Clerk, 112 E. Fifth Street, Salem, MO 65560. Phone: 573-729-3931 or 573-729-9414. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., closed major holidays. Call before travel to confirm courtroom location, access needs, copy fees, and current procedures.
