Contact Hennepin Court Administration

Hennepin County Court Docket is a private reference resource, not the Hennepin County District Court or its clerk. Official questions about a Hennepin court case, a hearing, a Register of Actions, or a court-file copy must go to Hennepin County District Court Administration. The Records Center is the public-facing route for many civil, criminal, family, housing, mental-health, and probate requests. Case type and the record sought can affect the correct counter, form, and access method.

This Is Not a Court or Government Office. This private resource cannot access a court system, confirm or change a hearing, file a document, remove or seal a case, issue a certified copy, or provide legal advice. Direct those matters to Hennepin County District Court Administration or the division that maintains the official record.

Need an Official Docket or Record?

Hennepin County District Court is the Fourth Judicial District of Minnesota. Its official public-record channels, rather than this resource, handle court-specific questions. Use the route that matches the request:

  • A public Register of Actions or case details: begin with Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO) Case Search, then use a courthouse public terminal or the Records Center when remote access does not display a public item.
  • A hearing date or courtroom question: review the official Hennepin court calendars and confirm the live setting with Court Administration.
  • Plain or certified copies: follow the Records Center copy-request instructions. A downloaded MCRO document is not a certified court copy.
  • A transcript: contact the Court Reporter Unit through the Records Center at 612-356-5249. Not every proceeding was recorded, and written transcripts are the official record where one is prepared.
  • Juvenile records: use the Juvenile Justice Center records route at 612-322-6999; juvenile access has separate rules and is not a routine MCRO name search.

For general Hennepin court questions and Records Center routing, contact Hennepin County District Court Administration and the Records Center at the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55487, 612-348-6000. Normal public hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, except court holidays. Court Administration can identify the proper division or current request channel for an official court record.
