Electronic Request Form
In an effort to continuously improve services to the citizens of our county we have a new Electronic Request Form. You can now request services from us by using our website. This new form will make us efficient and be responsive to citizen requests. Please feel free to provide feedback and suggestions to make this solution even better. Please fill in all the key information, then press the E-mail button to email the form as an attachment to the Clerk of Courts.
If manually attaching the request form to email please send to: clerk@co.wayne.in.us;wjacob@co.wayne.in.us;tholland@co.wayne.in.us

One of our most common inquiries via E-Mail is for records used for genealogical research. We are working to get some of these records online, but you will have to work directly with the offices involved or a local research agent until all records are available. Please note that most of our offices do not have the resources to do research on your behalf.
