Find Pike County Clerk Records

Pike County Clerk Profile

Georgia's Pike County court structure identifies the primary court-record clerk as the Clerk of Superior Court. The current clerk is Rebekah Hanson. The GSCCCA Pike County clerk profile lists her as Clerk of Superior Court, elected 2025, for Pike County Court. GSCCCA gives county code 114 and lists the courts managed by the office as Superior and Juvenile.

The Clerk's own site says the office maintains official court records, supports the judicial system, provides public services, gives access to court information and public records, and keeps citizens informed about Superior Court matters. The local office also handles related services such as notary appointments, trade names, passports, forms, jury information, real estate records, family violence temporary protective order routing, and military service record handling.

Pike County Clerk Record Duties

The Pike County Clerk of Superior Court manages criminal, civil, and juvenile court cases; real estate and personal-property records; the court registry; and other services required by law or provided as a courtesy. The Clerk states that records are open for inspection and copying except juvenile court records, adoption records, and records sealed by court order. That access statement is central to any Pike County Clerk record request.

• Rhonda Ard handles criminal clerk matters, including warrants and criminal dispositions, at extension 2.
• Stephanie Everitte handles juvenile clerk work, passports, requisitions, jury coordination, and Board of Equalization secretary work at extension 3.
• Anita Hortman handles civil clerk matters, including divorce, child support, and garnishment, at extension 5.
• Marsha Myers handles real estate clerk matters, including deeds, plats, and liens, at extension 4.
• The real estate division directs users to GSCCCA for UCC, deeds, liens, notary public, plats, and PT-61 indexes.

Civil action categories named by the Clerk include adoption, child custody or visitation, divorce or separation, family violence or stalking protective matters, foreign judgments, garnishments, legitimation or paternity, name change, and pro se matters. Attorneys must e-file civil cases, while self-represented pro se filers are not required to e-file.

Pike County Clerk Access Channels

Pike County Clerk record access is fragmented by task. The official site links a civil and criminal case search, but the link did not expose a working search form or field labels in available public access. Certified document requests use the statewide GSCCCA eCertification system. Older, sealed, restricted, or non-digitized files may require the counter, mail, phone, or fax.

Statewide provider paths also matter. The Georgia Courts e-access page redirects users to provider websites and says an account may be required to search court records. The Georgia e-file page uses a similar provider-account model to start filings. PeachCourt is the civil and criminal eFiling path identified in the research for Georgia e-filing questions.

Request Certified Pike County Copies

A certified copy is a clerk-authenticated copy used when an agency, court, lender, employer, school, or licensing office needs proof from the record custodian. For Pike County Superior Court records, the Clerk of Superior Court is the local custodian. For Pike County Probate Court marriage, vital, guardianship, and probate matters, the secondary clerk map routes those requests to Pike County Probate Court.

1. Identify the court and record type first: Superior civil, Superior criminal, Juvenile, real estate, or another clerk-held file.
2. Gather the case number if known, party names, approximate filing date, and the exact document needed.
3. Check whether the GSCCCA eCertification portal can accept the request, or call the Clerk if the case-search link does not load.
4. Submit the request online, in person, by mail, phone, or fax using the office channel that fits the record.
5. Confirm the fee, certification method, delivery method, and whether the file is open before relying on the copy.

eCertification is useful for official digital copies, while courthouse contact remains important for Pike files that are not available through the portal.

Pike County Clerk Request Fields

Official local sources did not provide a Pike-specific public copy request form with a full field set. A practical records request to the Pike County Clerk of Superior Court should still include the fields most likely to let staff find the file without delay. The eCertification portal also has a separate account workflow and an authentication-code lookup for already certified documents.

For eCertification, the captured field inventory is narrower: an existing certified document can be authenticated by entering the authentication code and selecting Lookup. New certified document requests require a GSCCCA universal account, login, county participation check, and the portal prompts.

Pike County Clerk Fees

The Clerk's homepage and July 1, 2024 rate notice provide the main fee details captured in the research. One conflict appears in the notary fee: the homepage showed $55.00, while the later July 2024 notice says the notary fee changed to $58.00. The newer notice is the safer figure, but anyone filing should confirm the current amount with the Clerk before payment.

Pike County Clerk Divisions

The civil division receives, files, stores, and retrieves civil Superior Court records. Divorce, child support, garnishment, name change, paternity, custody, visitation, foreign judgment, and family violence protective matters may all involve civil file access through the Clerk. A person looking for a divorce decree should not route that request to Magistrate Court because Pike Magistrate Court states divorce and family matters belong in Superior Court.

The criminal division files felony and misdemeanor criminal cases and names accusations, indictments, warrants, and related pleadings as part of the criminal filing process. The division also reports to state agencies, processes bond forfeitures and grand jury presentments, and handles appeals from lower courts, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of Georgia. That makes the Clerk's criminal file different from a jail booking record or a warrant inquiry.

The real estate and property division states that all real and personal property records are open for inspection and copying. It directs users to GSCCCA for UCC, real estate deeds, liens, notary public, plats, and PT-61 indexes. Military service records are different: recorded DD-214 separation documents are confidential, and certified copies are provided at no cost only to the veteran or next of kin with proper identification.

Note: Juvenile court records, adoption records, sealed records, and confidential military separation records need restricted-access handling.

Pike County Clerk Updates

Several Pike County Clerk notices affect records users. A January 18, 2026 holiday closure list affects office timing. A December 4, 2024 notice describes Georgia notary requirement changes effective January 1, 2025. The June 17, 2024 public notice announced fee increases effective July 1, 2024. A January 26, 2023 FANS notice points to the Filing Activity Notification System available through GSCCCA to monitor activity involving property and records.

These notices are useful because Pike County Clerk records work often depends on current fees, current hours, and statewide account systems. For any filing, copy request, or certified document request that depends on a deadline, contact the Clerk directly rather than relying only on a search result or old fee schedule.
