What should you know about this search?

?

Direct answer

Select the Fulton custodian that owns the existing record, submit or track the request through the Open Records Center where supported, and use the court clerk directly for case files.

Fulton County central tracking does not mean centralized custody

The Fulton County Open Records Center provides a common request and tracking workflow, yet the county still identifies designated custodians for departments and offices.

Court records illustrate the boundary clearly: Superior and Magistrate Court files are maintained by the court clerk, not by a general county attorney contact or a universal county database.

A Fulton result should retain the designated custodian and the request, incident, case or property identifier used there. The portal is part of the route, not a replacement for office ownership.
