Public Records in Indiana

Indiana public records are governed by the Indiana Access to Public Records Act (APRA), which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Indiana maintains extensive public databases across its 92 counties. Indiana operates a unified MyCase court portal for statewide case search, and the Public Access Counselor provides free guidance when agencies deny records requests. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Indiana public records.

What you can find
  • Property and real estate records
  • Court records (civil, criminal, and probate)
  • Business filings and corporate registrations
  • Vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce)
  • UCC liens and secured filings
  • Professional licenses and notary commissions
How to access Indiana public records

Most Indiana public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Indiana State Archives and the Indiana State Department of Health, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act — usually by mail or email — and must respond within the statutory deadline. Certified copies of vital records and court documents typically require a small fee and proof of identity.

Using the Indiana business entity portal

Indiana's INBiz portal returns entity status, registered agent name and address, biennial report compliance, officer information, and formation date. Indiana uses a biennial (two-year) report cycle, so an entity can be current with its last filing nearly two years old. The portal links to filing documents for free.

Pro tip
Confirm the biennial report due date — because Indiana reports only every two years, 'active' status can mask a counterparty that's about to fall out of compliance.
Common use cases

Verifying a vendor before signing a contract · Confirming good standing before funding a deal · Checking the registered agent before serving legal notice

What you can find
  • Entity status
  • Registered agent name and address
  • Biennial report compliance
  • Officer information
  • Formation date
Pro tip
Search by exact legal name first. If nothing returns, try a partial name or the registered agent — many portals normalize punctuation differently than what's filed.
