Genesee County MI Court Records Search: MiCOURT, 7th Circuit, 67th District & Probate Guide
Genesee County court records are searched through Michigan MiCOURT, the 7th Judicial Circuit Court Legal Records Division, the 67th District Court, and Genesee County Probate Court depending on the record type. This guide explains how to search by name or case number, how to use C07, D67 and P25 court codes, and when to request official or certified copies from the correct custodian.
Public-Court-Records.us is independent. This website is not Michigan MiCOURT, the Michigan Judicial Branch, the Genesee County Clerk/Register of Deeds, the 7th Judicial Circuit Court, the 67th District Court, Genesee County Probate Court, the Eastern District of Michigan, PACER, a government agency, a law firm, a background-check company or a Consumer Reporting Agency. This guide is general educational information only.
Responsible-use warning: a court filing, arrest, charge, petition, complaint, warrant, ticket, eviction filing, probate filing or lawsuit is not proof of guilt, liability, tenancy history or identity. A matching name does not prove identity. Do not use this page as an FCRA-regulated employment, tenant, credit, insurance or background-screening product.
Genesee County court records are searched by court code and case type
The most practical online starting point is Michigan MiCOURT Case Search. For Genesee County, users commonly need C07 for the 7th Judicial Circuit Court, D67 for the 67th District Court and P25 for Genesee County Probate Court. The online result is helpful for locating a case and reading the register of actions, but it does not replace the official court record on file with the court.

The 67th District Court handles district-level traffic, misdemeanor, landlord-tenant, small-claims and civil matters. Probate Court handles estates, guardianships, conservatorships, trusts and related probate matters.

Which Genesee County court handled the record?

Juvenile Records states these records are generally nonpublic and must be requested through the approved process. |

| Federal district, federal appellate or bankruptcy case | Eastern District of Michigan, Eastern District Bankruptcy Court or PACER | Use PACER, the Eastern District of Michigan, Flint federal courthouse route or Eastern District Bankruptcy Court. Federal cases are not Genesee MiCOURT records. |
How to search Genesee County records in MiCOURT
Michigan MiCOURT Case Search is an official public search tool for participating Michigan courts. It is useful for case numbers, party-name searches, registers of action, hearing dates and public case-history information, but the site warns that online information does not replace the official court record.
Confirm the domain is micourt.courts.michigan.gov before using the search. Avoid commercial people-search forms if your goal is a court docket.
Use C07 for 7th Circuit Court, D67 for 67th District Court and P25 for Genesee County Probate Court when you know the record belongs to that court.
A case number usually avoids common-name confusion and points directly to the correct register of actions.
Try the legal last name and spelling variations. Do not assume a result belongs to a specific person unless court, case type, filing date, party role and disposition support the match.
Read the docket timeline in sequence. Look for filings, hearings, orders, judgments, payments, probation, dismissals, bindover activity or appeal activity.
If you need a certified copy, older file, off-site file, expungement question, sealed-record access or correction, contact the court that maintains the official file.
Genesee County court codes: C07, D67 and P25
Use court codes to avoid searching the wrong Genesee County system. A case may have started in District Court and later moved to Circuit Court, especially felony cases after preliminary examination or bindover.
| Code or route | Court | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| C07 | 7th Judicial Circuit Court | Felony cases, major civil cases, divorce/domestic relations, family division, juvenile-related routing and appeals from lower courts or agencies. |
| D67 | 67th District Court | Traffic, misdemeanors, civil infractions, felony preliminary examinations, landlord-tenant, small claims and district civil matters. |
| P25 | Genesee County Probate Court | Estates, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, certain mental-health matters and probate-related records when public access is available. |
| Michigan eTix | Participating Michigan District Courts | Payable civil infraction tickets and misdemeanor cases when the court and case are eligible for eTix. |
| PACER | Federal district, appellate and bankruptcy courts | Federal civil, criminal and bankruptcy records, not Genesee County state court cases. |

Sealed, expunged, nonpublic and not-online Genesee County records
Michigan court-record access is governed by court rules, statutes and court orders. MiCOURT says nonpublic information is not accessible through the website and lists several case types that will not be displayed. The 7th Circuit Juvenile Records page also states that juvenile court records are generally nonpublic and available only to the limited extent permitted by statute or court rule.
- Adoption records.

- Juvenile guardianships.
- Mental illness case types.

Court records vs criminal history, jail, vital records and property records
Many Genesee County searches fail because the record belongs to a different custodian. Use the correct official source based on what you actually need.
| Need | Correct source | Do not confuse it with |
|---|---|---|
| Court docket, register of actions, judgment, order or disposition | MiCOURT and the court of record: C07, D67 or P25 | A statewide criminal-history product or jail booking record. |
| Statewide criminal-history check | Michigan State Police ICHAT route | A single court docket, which may not show every statewide criminal-history record. |
| Current custody, booking, mugshot or release status | Sheriff, jail or corrections source | Final court disposition or sentence. |
| Birth, death, marriage or vital record | Genesee County Clerk/Register vital records route or Michigan vital records route | Court case records, except when the case itself involves a legal action. |
| Deed, mortgage, land record or property instrument | Genesee County Register of Deeds | Civil court cases that may reference property disputes. |
| Federal civil, criminal or bankruptcy docket | PACER and the federal court | Michigan MiCOURT state trial court records. |
Genesee County appeals and higher-court records
Appeals from Genesee County trial courts are separate from the trial-court register of actions. A trial case may show appeal activity, but appellate filings, orders and opinions may need Michigan appellate court resources.
- Michigan Court of Appeals case activity.
- Michigan Supreme Court case information.
- Appellate opinions, orders or applications for leave.
- Comparison between trial-court number and appellate docket number.
- The original complaint, petition, information or judgment.
- Trial-court docket activity.
- Certified lower-court records.
- Local exhibits, transcripts or clerk-maintained documents.
Genesee County federal and bankruptcy records use PACER, not MiCOURT
Federal court records are separate from Genesee County state court records. The Eastern District of Michigan has a Flint federal courthouse location at 600 Church Street, and the Eastern District of Michigan Bankruptcy Court includes Genesee County in its district information. Use PACER when the case is federal.
| Federal need | Correct route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Federal civil or criminal district case | U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan / PACER | Use the federal court record page or PACER, not C07, D67 or P25. |
| Flint federal courthouse record assistance | Eastern District of Michigan Flint divisional office | Federal district court records may route through the Flint federal courthouse or PACER depending on the request. |
| Bankruptcy case | Eastern District of Michigan Bankruptcy Court / PACER | The bankruptcy court’s resources include PACER, Case Locator, CM/ECF and Flint help desk contact details. |
| Unknown federal court | PACER Find a Case / Case Locator | Use Case Locator when you do not know which federal court has the case, but review PACER pricing before broad name searches. |
- Confirm the case is federal, not Genesee County state court.
- Use the court record instructions or PACER link.
- Use the federal case number if known.
- Contact the federal clerk for certified federal records.
- Confirm the matter is bankruptcy, not District Court civil debt collection.
- Use PACER or Case Locator for case access.
- Use the Flint help desk route when needed.
- Contact the bankruptcy clerk for certified copies.
- Register or sign in through PACER.
- Use Case Locator if the federal court is unknown.
- Search a specific court when you know the district or bankruptcy court.
- Save the federal case number for future copy requests.
- Verify the current per-page rate.
- Check document caps and exceptions.
- Check the quarterly fee-waiver threshold.
- Note announced fee changes before relying on older guidance.
How to read Genesee County court-record results responsibly
A court docket or register of actions is a case activity timeline, not a background report. One entry rarely tells the whole story. Read the court code, division, party role, filing date, event history, judgment entries and later activity before drawing conclusions.
Plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, appellant, appellee, decedent, protected person, guardian, conservator, landlord and tenant mean different things. A person can appear in a case without being accused of wrongdoing.
Open, closed, inactive, dismissed, transferred, bound over, appealed, set aside, sealed or disposed should be read with the full register of actions and final order.
For criminal and traffic matters, distinguish arrest, complaint, charge, ticket, plea, conviction, dismissal, acquittal, sentence, set aside and expungement.
Frequently asked questions about Genesee County court records
How do I search Genesee County court records by name?
Start with Michigan MiCOURT Case Search or the official Genesee court page for the record type. Search by case number when possible. If you search by name, compare the court code, division, case type, filing date, party role, register of actions, hearing history, and disposition before relying on a match.
Is MiCOURT the official place to search Genesee County court cases?
MiCOURT is the Michigan judiciary’s public case-search system and is a good starting point for participating courts. It does not replace the official record on file with the court, and some nonpublic or limited-access case types are not displayed.
Which Genesee County court handles felony, divorce, and major civil cases?

The 67th District Court handles parking citations, traffic violations, criminal misdemeanors, preliminary examinations in felony cases, landlord-tenant matters, small claims, and general civil cases within the District Court limit. Use D67 in MiCOURT or the 67th District Court record routes.
Does the 67th District Court include Flint cases?
Yes. Genesee County budget materials describe the 67th District Court as having jurisdiction over Genesee County, including the City of Flint, effective January 2, 2016. For older or unclear Flint district cases, confirm the correct route with the 67th District Court.

Why might a Genesee County case not appear in MiCOURT?
A case may be nonpublic, sealed, set aside, too old for online display, restricted by statute or court rule, searched under the wrong court code, filed under a different spelling, or in a case type that MiCOURT says will not be displayed, such as adoption, juvenile, mental illness, certain personal protection, extreme risk protection, and wills.
Where do I find Genesee County probate, juvenile, or adoption records?
Use Genesee County Probate Court for probate matters and P25-related case searches where public access is available. Juvenile and adoption records are handled through the 7th Circuit Court Family Division or Probate Court routes and are generally nonpublic or limited-access, so contact the correct court office for instructions.
Where do I search Genesee County federal or bankruptcy records?
Federal district and bankruptcy records are not searched through Genesee County MiCOURT. Use PACER, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the Flint federal courthouse route, the Eastern District of Michigan Bankruptcy Court, or PACER Case Locator depending on the record.
