This Is Not a Court or Government Office. Clay County Court Docket is privately operated. It cannot retrieve a docket, change or reset a hearing, remove or seal a case, issue a certified copy, or give legal advice. Those requests must go to the clerk or court that holds the record.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
Use the route that matches the record you need in Clay County:
- A docket sheet: start with Case Lookup for the Superior Court provider route, or ask the proper clerk for the public docket
- A court date or setting: review Court Dates, then confirm the setting with the clerk or judge's office
- A certified copy: request it from the clerk or court that maintains the case, because an online view is not a certification
- A specific case: use Case Lookup with the exact party name or case number, when the court and provider support that search
- A filed document or case file: use Court Record Search and contact the office that holds the underlying record
Superior and Juvenile records: Patricia Thornton, Clerk of Superior Court, keeps the Superior and Juvenile clerk records. The office is at 210 Washington Street South, Suite 3, Fort Gaines, GA 39851, (229) 768-2631. Published hours are 8:00-4:30 Monday-Friday. The Clay Superior Court page and the Georgia clerks directory provide official office details. The Superior courtroom is listed separately at 145 Wilson Street, Fort Gaines, so confirm the session location with the clerk.
Probate and Magistrate records: the Probate Court office at 210 Washington Street, Suite 1, Fort Gaines, GA 39851, (229) 768-2445, handles estates, guardianships, vital records, and Clay county traffic citations. The local Probate and Magistrate structure also routes Magistrate claims, warrants, garnishments, and dispossessory records to 210 Washington Street South, Suite 5, Fort Gaines, GA 39851, (229) 768-2841. Use the Probate Court page or Magistrate Court page for the official office routes. Magistrate's published hours are 8:00-4:30 Monday-Friday.
Fort Gaines municipal citations: city traffic and ordinance matters follow the city route, not the Superior Clerk. City Hall is at 103 Commerce Street W., Fort Gaines, GA 39851, (229) 768-2443, with listed hours of 8:00-12:00 and 1:00-4:30 Monday-Friday. The Fort Gaines City Hall page and its citation-payment resources are the relevant official starting points.
Georgia Courts' E-Access directory lists Clay Superior and routes users to an account-based provider. PeachCourt is the mandatory Superior e-filing system, but the clerk remains the official records custodian. For an administrative county record, a written request under Georgia's Open Records Act guidance may be directed to the public custodian; court-file access still follows the court's rules, restrictions, and clerk procedures.
