Aurora Court Docket Records
Aurora court docket records are maintained by the Kane County Circuit Court, which handles all criminal, civil, divorce, and probate cases for Aurora residents. A small portion of Aurora falls within DuPage County, so some cases may be filed there instead. This page covers how to search Aurora court dockets, where to go for copies, and what the Aurora Municipal Court handles separately.
Kane County Circuit Court: Aurora Court Dockets
The Kane County Circuit Court is the primary court for Aurora court docket records. The court clerk is Theresa Barreiro. The courthouse is the Kane County Judicial Center at 540 S. Randall Road, St. Charles, IL 60174. You can reach the clerk's office at (630) 232-3413 or visit the Kane County Clerk of Court website for case information. Kane County is in the 16th Judicial Circuit.
Although Aurora is the largest city in Kane County and the second largest in Illinois, the courthouse is located in St. Charles, which serves as the county seat. Aurora residents who need to access in-person court docket records or file documents must travel to the St. Charles location. There is no Aurora branch courthouse for circuit court matters.
Kane County does not participate in Judici.com. Unlike many downstate counties that use the Judici portal for online case lookup, Kane County has its own electronic system. Case searches are available through the clerk's website. If you cannot find a case there, calling the clerk's office directly at (630) 232-3413 is the next step.
Searching Aurora Court Docket Records Online
Kane County offers online case lookup through its own web portal. You can search for court docket information by case number, party name, or attorney. The system covers civil, criminal, traffic, and domestic relations cases. Access the search tool through the Kane County Clerk's website. Not all case types may be fully searchable online, and some older or sealed records will not appear in public searches.
For Aurora civil cases that were filed through Illinois' statewide mandatory e-filing system, eFileIL is the platform used for submission. Civil filings in Kane County go through eFileIL. Once a filing is accepted by the clerk, it gets assigned a case number and appears in the court's docket. Parties to a case can track activity through their eFileIL account.
For appellate decisions involving Aurora cases, use re:SearchIL. The 2nd District Illinois Appellate Court covers Kane County. Appellate docket entries and opinions for that court are available on re:SearchIL at no cost since May 2025.
Note: Illinois Supreme Court policy restricts online public access to certain case types. Eviction, family, foreclosure, guardianship, probate, small claims, traffic, and orders of protection are excluded from public online viewing under the remote access policy.
Aurora Municipal Court for Local Ordinance Matters
The Aurora Municipal Court handles city ordinance violations. This is separate from the Kane County Circuit Court. The municipal court is located at 1200 E. Indian Trail, Aurora, IL 60505. The phone number is (630) 256-3700. You can find more information at aurora-il.org/municipal-court. This court handles parking tickets, traffic violations under city code, and local ordinance issues.
If you received a city-issued ticket in Aurora rather than a state traffic citation, your case likely goes through this municipal court system. The docket for municipal court cases is separate from the Kane County Circuit Court docket. Contact the municipal court directly if you need to look up the status of a city ordinance case or want to request a hearing date.
Building code violations, liquor license matters, and other city regulatory actions may also go through Aurora's local hearing process. These are administrative in nature and handled at the city level, not through the county circuit court.
Aurora Court Docket: DuPage County Portion
A small portion of Aurora's territory sits within DuPage County. If you or someone you know lives in the DuPage portion of Aurora, court dockets for those residents are handled by the DuPage County Circuit Court rather than Kane County. The DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk is Candice Adams. The courthouse address is 505 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton, IL 60187. The clerk's mailing address is P.O. Box 707, Wheaton, IL 60187-0707. You can reach the office at (630) 407-8700 or visit the DuPage County Court Clerk website.
DuPage County is in the 18th Judicial Circuit and is approved for electronic records. If you are unsure which county governs your Aurora address, the county line runs through parts of the city. A quick check using the county GIS maps or calling the clerk's office can confirm which court has jurisdiction over your case.
Getting Copies of Aurora Court Docket Records
Certified copies of court documents from Kane County cases are available from the clerk's office in St. Charles. You can request copies in person, by mail, or through whatever electronic request system the county offers. Fees apply for certified copies. Plain copies are generally cheaper than certified ones. The clerk's staff can help you identify the right forms for your request.
If you need a copy of a court order or judgment, bring the case number if you have it. The clerk can look up the case by name but having the number speeds up the process. For very old cases, records may be in storage and may take longer to retrieve. Call (630) 232-3413 ahead of time to confirm availability before making a trip to St. Charles.
For self-represented litigants, the Illinois Legal Aid guide on getting court record copies explains the process step by step and covers what forms to use across different Illinois counties.
Judici.com and Aurora Court Dockets
The Judici portal covers 82 Illinois counties and is a widely used tool for searching court dockets statewide. However, Kane County and DuPage County are not part of the Judici system. If you try to search for Aurora court docket records on Judici, you will not find them. Use the county-specific portals instead: the Kane County Clerk's website for most Aurora cases, and the DuPage County Court Clerk's site for the smaller DuPage portion of the city.
The Illinois Circuit Court Clerks Directory lists all 102 county clerks with contact info and links. If you are ever unsure which court has jurisdiction, this directory is a good starting point.
