Find Naperville Court Docket Records
Naperville court docket records are split between two counties: DuPage County handles the larger portion of the city, while Will County covers the smaller southeastern section. This guide explains how to find the right court docket for your case, search records online, and contact the correct clerk's office based on where in Naperville your matter originated.
Naperville Court Docket: DuPage County Circuit Court
Most Naperville court docket records are filed with the DuPage County Circuit Court. The court clerk is Candice Adams. The courthouse, known as the DuPage County Judicial Center, is at 505 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton, IL 60187. For mailing, use P.O. Box 707, Wheaton, IL 60187-0707. The clerk's office phone is (630) 407-8700 and the website is at dupageco.org/CourtClerk. DuPage County is in the 18th Judicial Circuit and is approved for electronic records.
DuPage County does not participate in Judici.com. Case searching is handled through the county's own online portal, accessible through the clerk's website. The portal supports searches by case number, party name, and attorney. Civil, criminal, traffic, domestic relations, and probate cases are all handled by the DuPage County Circuit Court for Naperville residents in the DuPage portion of the city.
Note: Illinois Supreme Court remote access policy limits what the public can view online. Excluded case types include eviction, family, foreclosure, guardianship, probate, small claims, traffic, and orders of protection. Parties and attorneys may have broader access to these case types than the general public.
Naperville Court Docket: Will County Circuit Court
The southeastern portion of Naperville falls within Will County. If your address or case is in that part of the city, court docket records would be filed at the Will County Circuit Court. The clerk is Andrea Chasteen. The address is 100 West Jefferson Street, Joliet, IL 60432. Phone: (815) 727-8592. Visit the Will County Court Clerk website for case search and filing information. Will County is in the 12th Judicial Circuit and also does not participate in Judici.com.
If you are unsure which county governs your Naperville address, the quickest way to check is to call the DuPage clerk's office and ask them to look up the address by jurisdiction. Alternatively, the county boundary can be confirmed through GIS maps available from either county's website. Getting the right county matters because filing in the wrong court can delay your case or result in a transfer.
Naperville Municipal Court
The Naperville Municipal Court handles city ordinance violations, not criminal or civil matters. The court is at 1350 Aurora Ave, Naperville, IL 60540. Phone: (630) 420-6111. The city's municipal court page is at naperville.il.us/municipal-court. Cases here include parking tickets, local traffic violations, and city code issues. These are separate from anything filed in DuPage or Will County circuit courts.
If you received a city-issued citation in Naperville, your case is handled locally through this court. You can often pay fines, request hearings, and check case status through the city's municipal court system. Contact the court directly to confirm procedures and deadlines, as failure to respond to a citation can result in a default judgment and license plate holds.
Online Access to Naperville Court Docket Records
DuPage County offers an online case search tool through the clerk's website at dupageco.org/CourtClerk. You can look up cases by name or case number. The results show docket entries, hearing dates, and case status. Actual court documents may require a separate request and fee for certified copies. The online system is good for confirming a case exists and tracking hearing dates, but it does not replace certified records for legal purposes.
For appellate-level decisions involving Naperville cases, use re:SearchIL. The 2nd District Illinois Appellate Court covers DuPage County. Appellate dockets and opinions are available there at no charge since May 2025. This system is run by the Illinois Supreme Court and is separate from any county-level search tool.
Mandatory e-filing through eFileIL applies to all civil filings in DuPage and Will counties. Once a civil case is filed electronically and accepted by the clerk, it appears in the court docket. Parties can track their cases through their eFileIL accounts after filing.
Getting Copies of Naperville Court Docket Documents
Certified copies of court records from DuPage County cases can be requested at the DuPage County Judicial Center in Wheaton. Bring the case number if you have it. You can also submit written requests by mail to P.O. Box 707, Wheaton, IL 60187-0707. Include the case number, party name, and the specific documents you need. Fees apply for certified copies. The clerk's office can provide a fee schedule.
For Will County cases, request copies from the clerk's office at 100 West Jefferson Street in Joliet. The process is similar: bring or send the case number and a list of what you need. Will County also charges a per-page fee for copies. For records requests that involve older cases, it may help to call ahead to confirm the records are still in the active file room rather than in storage.
The Illinois Legal Aid guide on court records is a free resource that walks through the request process for all Illinois counties, including what to ask for and how to handle situations where records are sealed or expunged.
