Why We Built This Site
Pennsylvania gives the public broad access to many court records, but Westmoreland County uses a split records structure. The Prothonotary handles civil and family Court of Common Pleas filings. The Clerk of Courts handles criminal and juvenile dockets. The Register of Wills and Clerk of the Orphans' Court handles estates, marriage licenses, guardianships, adoptions, and Orphans' Court matters. The Sheriff's Office and Westmoreland County Prison handle separate custody and warrant-related information. We pull together contact details, search portals, fee schedules, and request steps for those offices.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Pennsylvania court, Westmoreland County 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.
