Public Records in Oregon

Oregon public records are governed by the Oregon Public Records Law, 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, Oregon maintains extensive public databases across its 36 counties. Oregon courts publish case information through the Oregon eCourt Case Information (OECI) system, and county clerks maintain deed and lien indexes. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Oregon 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 Oregon public records

Most Oregon public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Oregon State Archives and the Oregon Center for Health Statistics, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Oregon Public Records Law — 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 Oregon business entity portal
