Federal courts in Georgia
Federal court records from Georgia come from the following courts (bankruptcy courts sit within the same districts):
- U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
- U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia
- U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia
Request a certified copy from the clerk of the district that issued your judgment, order or filing — a PACER printout won’t be accepted. The certified copy is then authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). Records from Georgia state courts are different: those go to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA).
