Search Faulkner County Court Records Online
For circuit court cases including civil, criminal, domestic relations, and probate, the free statewide portal at caseinfo.arcourts.gov is the primary tool. Faulkner County participates fully in the Search ARCourts system. You can search by party name, case number, or filing date. Results show case type, status, judge, attorneys, hearings, and in many instances links to filed documents. The system is accessible without an account.
The statewide Search ARCourts portal provides free, 24/7 access to Faulkner County case filings covering civil, criminal, domestic, and probate matters in circuit court.
Faulkner County is also listed among the district courts that participate in the statewide online system. Traffic, misdemeanor, and small claims cases handled at the district level may also appear in the portal. If a case you are looking for does not appear, it may be in the municipal or district system rather than circuit court, or it may pre-date the 2009 digital cutoff.
Juvenile records are not accessible publicly through any online system. Sealed and expunged records are also excluded. These rules follow Administrative Order 19.
Faulkner County Online Document Search for Land Records
Faulkner County runs its own dedicated document search system at faulknercircuitclerk.com/online-document-search/. This platform is separate from the statewide case search and focuses on recorded instruments like deeds, mortgages, releases, and judgment liens. The system is updated every 30 minutes and is available around the clock.
The Faulkner County Circuit Clerk site at 801 Locust Street, Conway offers a 24/7 document search system for land records with subscription and pay-as-you-go pricing.
For professional users like title companies, real estate attorneys, and lenders who need frequent access, the $70 per month unlimited subscription is cost-effective. For occasional users who only need to pull a few images, the $3.00 per image pay-as-you-go option avoids a monthly commitment. Name searches cost an additional $0.25 each. Both options are available through the clerk's website.
Note: The Faulkner County online document search covers recorded land records only and does not replace the statewide ARCourts portal for circuit court case information.
