Muskogee County Overview
Muskogee County Court Clerk
The Court Clerk's office is the place to go for Muskogee County traffic court records.

The office is on the second floor of the courthouse at 200 State Street. They are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and stay open during the lunch hour.

Search Muskogee County Traffic Court Records Online
The free way to search Muskogee County traffic court records online is through OSCN, the Oklahoma State Courts Network. This system covers Muskogee County and lets you look up cases by name or case number. You can see party names, charge descriptions, docket events, and case status. Records in the system go back to January 3, 2003. Cases before that date are not online and must be requested from the courthouse.
ODCR, the Oklahoma District Court Records system, is another tool you can use. It also covers Muskogee County and shows traffic case information. ODCR is useful if you want to pay traffic fines online. The OSCN E-Payments system lets you look up a case and pay the fine without going to the courthouse. You need the case number or defendant name to find the right case.
Note: Municipal traffic citations from Muskogee city police are handled by the Muskogee Municipal Court, not the district court. Those cases do not appear on OSCN.
Muskogee County Traffic Record Search Fees
If you go to the courthouse and ask staff to search for a case, there is a $10 search fee if you do not have the file number. If you already have the case or file number, no search fee applies. Copy fees are $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each page after that. Certified copies cost an extra $0.50 per page on top of the copy fee.
The court has microfilm records for older documents. Available microfilm includes Marriage records from 1890 to 1951, Probate records from 1908 to 1950, and a Civil Index from 1907 to 1938. These are only available at the courthouse and cannot be accessed online. If you need older traffic records not covered by microfilm, contact the clerk's office to ask what is available.
Searching online through OSCN or ODCR is free. You can view case details, docket entries, and public documents at no cost. Copies and certified documents require in-person or mail requests.
