Edmond Overview
Edmond Municipal Court Records
The Edmond Municipal Court is at 120 E. Main Street, Edmond, OK 73034. The phone number is (405) 359-4360. This court is part of the Oklahoma County judicial system and handles misdemeanor traffic violations and city ordinance offenses. Defensive driving course attendance may qualify certain tickets so they are not reported on your record.
Municipal court records do not show up on OSCN or ODCR. You need to contact the court directly. Record requests for the municipal court go through the JustFOIA portal, which Edmond uses for all public records. There is a separate form for court records versus police records and other city department records.
Edmond City Clerk Background Check Records
The Edmond City Clerk handles all public records requests. The mailing address is P.O. Box 2970, Edmond, OK 73083. The phone number is (405) 359-4555. Edmond uses the JustFOIA portal for submitting requests online. Three forms are available depending on what you need: Police Records Request for police and animal services records, Court Records Request for municipal court files, and Other City Records for all other departments.
Response times depend on the nature, volume, and complexity of the records. Electronic copies are generally free. Physical copies cost $0.25 per page for letter or legal size paper. Certified copies cost $1.00 per page. Large format documents get a vendor quote, with payment required in advance. Requests under $2.00 may be waived at the Clerk's discretion.
Search fees may apply for commercial purposes or when a request causes excessive disruption to normal operations. Unredacted juvenile records require in-person identity verification, meaning you cannot get those through mail or online requests. This is in line with Oklahoma law that keeps juvenile case files confidential.

Under Title 74 Section 150.9, criminal history from OSBI that is not already a public record must be kept confidential by whoever receives it. Expunged records are fully removed from OSCN and OSBI under Title 22, Section 18. Sealed cases need a court order for access. Juvenile records require in-person identity verification for any unredacted copies, which is why the JustFOIA system routes those requests separately from regular open records requests.
