Vanderburgh service payments, and how to make sure the Sheriff knows you paid for service in any county.

How to pay the fee:
First, for those of you who have been frustrated when trying to pay Sheriff service fees in Vanderburgh, the problem has been solved. This was due to a minor configuration error in the State's system, and they just took care of it for us a couple of days ago. (Thanks!)

This means that when you file a summons in Vanderburgh County, at the bottom of the window where you upload your summons, you now have the option to add Sheriff's service:

How to prove to the Sheriff that you paid the fee.
This question has come up several times in Vanderburgh County, but this approach works for any county: When you submit an initial filing for a case, you will receive a "Notice of electronic filing" for each document. The first one of these you receive, (which is not necessarily the one for the summons) will show the fee details. Print that email, highlight the part that shows the Sheriff's fee, and attach it to the front of  three copies of the paperwork to be served, and send or hand-deliver it to the Sheriff's office.  [Update: on 7/11, we learned that you should also include the Notice of Acceptance. Details here.]

As always, please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions about this or any other aspect of e-filing. Call 866-369-7671 or email support@doxpop.com. We are here to help. 

Vanderburgh Court records through 1993 now available on Doxpop

Doxpop has completed the load of all public case records from the Vanderburgh County Courts system. This means that full records are now available for all courts from 1993 through the present. Some records are available prior to 1993, but because not all of the courts used a computer system at that time, we are not claiming a "full" record of cases prior to 1993.

Thanks to Court IT Director Tim VanCleave, Clerk Susan Kirk, and all of the Vanderburgh judges for their support and patience throughout this long project. They're a great group of people to work with and we look forward to a productive (and fun!) future with them.
