To submit an open records request, you can contact the Clerk of Court or the Register of Wills Office, depending on the type of record. An open records request is simply an official request to view particular public government or agency documents.

Deeds, which are legal documents regarding the ownership of property or legal rights, can also be obtained from the Register of Deeds. There’s an online portal to view records.
