Why We Built This Site
Kentucky gives the public broad access to many records under the Kentucky Open Records Act, including KRS 61.871 and KRS 61.872, while KRS 61.878 and other laws keep certain records restricted. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file you want. In Lyon County, Circuit Court Clerk Kimberly Duncan maintains Circuit Court and District Court case records at the Lyon County Judicial Center in Eddyville. County Clerk Lori Duff handles county records such as marriage, land, vehicle, election, and licensing records. The Lyon County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Brent White, handles law-enforcement records through its own open-records process. We pull together the contact details, search portals, and request steps for these offices into one place.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Kentucky court, clerk's office, sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
