Jeff Davis County Clerk Office
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority listing names Julie Wilkinson as Clerk of Superior Court for Jeff Davis County. The listing gives the office address, mailing address, hours, phone, fax, courts managed, and service categories. It also shows the county is part of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit and that the clerk has served in the elected office since 2015.
The Clerk of Superior Court is the local record hub for Superior Court files and also manages State Court and Juvenile Court records for Jeff Davis County. The office is not a sheriff records desk, jail roster, or municipal citation office. Law-enforcement reports, booking records, and jail files route through the Sheriff's Office, while Hazlehurst city citations route through Municipal Court.

What Jeff Davis County Clerk Does
The GSCCCA record lists clerk services that go beyond ordinary case lookup. The office handles adoptions, child support receiver duties, jury management, military discharge papers, notary public commissions, civil and criminal e-filing, real estate, and BOE appeal administrator work. Deputy clerks Shannon Baker and Amy Lacey are also listed in the official directory.
For court records, the most important local detail is the court list. Superior Court is the general-jurisdiction court for felonies, divorce, equity matters, major civil cases, land/title disputes, and some appeals from lower courts. State Court records are also managed by the clerk, and Juvenile Court records are listed under the same office even though juvenile access is restricted.
- Maintain Superior Court, State Court, and Juvenile Court records.
- Support civil and criminal e-filing through Georgia court provider systems.
- Provide clerk access for certified dispositions, divorce files, and public court records when available.
- Manage jury, notary, adoption, real estate, military discharge, and BOE appeal services listed by GSCCCA.
Search Jeff Davis Clerk Records
Online access for clerk-held Superior and State Court records begins with Georgia Courts e-access. That state page lists Jeff Davis State and Jeff Davis Superior as provider links that route to PeachCourt. Georgia Courts warns that users are redirected to the provider website and must have an account to search court records.
PeachCourt's public screen shows login and registration access and identifies civil and criminal e-filing and court document services across Georgia. It does not show full Jeff Davis search fields without account access. That means a no-login name search is not documented in the official source inventory for the clerk's Superior and State Court records.
| Access Point | Use It For | Known Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia Courts e-access | Finding Jeff Davis State and Superior provider links | Routes to provider |
| PeachCourt | Account-based court access and e-filing | Search fields gated behind login |
| Clerk office | Certified copies, dispositions, older or offline files | Call or visit during office hours |
| County open records | Administrative records or unclear routing | Not a substitute for sealed or restricted court records |
Request Jeff Davis Certified Copies
Certified copies are used when a plain printout is not enough. A certified disposition may be needed for employment screening, licensing, immigration, school, military, or record-correction purposes. The Magistrate Court FAQ notes that certified copies are available for a fee and gives local timing detail for misdemeanor and felony dispositions.
- Identify the court and case type. Felony and divorce files usually point to Superior Court, while State Court matters may include misdemeanors and traffic/criminal dispositions.
- Gather the case number if known, party names, filing year, record type, and whether a certified copy or plain copy is needed.
- Contact the Clerk of Superior Court at 912-375-6615 or visit the office at 14 Jeff Davis St. during published hours.
- Ask for the current copy fee and whether the file is on site, archived, sealed, restricted, or available through PeachCourt.
- Use the county open-records form only when the request is for county records or when the office directs that route.
Note: Juvenile, adoption, sealed, and protected records may require a court order or may be unavailable to the general public.

Mail and Online Clerk Filings
The clerk's GSCCCA listing gives a mailing address of P.O. Box 429, Hazlehurst, GA 31539. Before mailing a request, confirm the fee, acceptable payment method, return-mail requirements, and whether the record can be released. A mailed request should identify the court, case number if known, party names, filing year, document requested, certification need, and return contact information.
Online filing and document access should be routed through PeachCourt when the record type is supported and an account is available. If a case involves a sealed file, juvenile matter, adoption, protected identifier, or restricted criminal history issue, online access may not be available even when the court itself participates in a provider system.
