Why We Built This Site
Minnesota gives the public broad access to court records under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and the Rules of Public Access to Records of the Judicial Branch. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file. Anoka County District Court holds the case file. The Sheriff's Office on Hanson Boulevard in Andover and the Jail Division on Jackson Street in Anoka hold arrest, jail, and warrant data. The Minnesota Judicial Branch hosts the statewide MCRO portal. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension runs the public criminal history system. This site collects the right contact, portal, and request steps for each of those offices so you can land on the right resource on the first try.
What You Will Find Here
- Records pages by type: court records, arrest records, inmate records, warrant records, marriage and divorce, probate records, and more.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Minnesota court, Anoka County office, Sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with on this page or the rest of the site:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf to Anoka County District Court or any Minnesota agency.
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document, marriage certificate, or vital record. Anoka County Court Administration handles court certified copies; the Anoka County Vital Records office handles marriage certificates.
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you. Talk to a Minnesota-licensed attorney or use the Tenth District Self-Help Center.
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now. Hours change, lines move, and fees update.
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 Anoka County visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
Keeping Information Current
County offices move. Court hours change. Phone numbers get reassigned. We update pages as we hear about changes, but gaps happen. Before you drive to the Anoka County Courthouse on 3rd Avenue or the Jail Division on Jackson Street, call ahead first. The Court Administration main line is (763) 760-6700; the Jail Division line is 763-324-5100.
