Talladega County Circuit Clerk Offices

Brian York is Talladega County Circuit Clerk. The official biography says he studied financial management at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, graduated from Birmingham School of Law in 2015, served as Talladega mayor from 2003 through 2011, and worked in banking.

The Talladega County Twenty-Ninth Judicial Circuit page provides the main Judicial Building address, court phone, hours, and division links.

The Talladega County Judicial Building office is the main local contact for Circuit and District Court records, while a second division serves southern Talladega County from Sylacauga.

Talladega County Circuit Clerk Duties

The Circuit Clerk structure covers Circuit Civil, Circuit Criminal, Domestic Relations, District Criminal, District Civil, Small Claims, Juvenile and Child Support, and District Traffic. Staff manage case filings, docket events, service papers, orders, judgments, fines, costs, and copies appropriate to each division. The office also supports Alabama's electronic court tools. It does not control Probate Court case files, recorded deeds, marriage certificates, or county election records.

• Maintain Circuit and District Court dockets and documents.
• Receive civil, criminal, domestic, small-claims, juvenile, and traffic filings.
• Issue copies and certifications from records held by the office.
• Route questions to staff by division, judge assignment, and case type.
• Process payments and filings under the rules for each court service.

The official Circuit Clerk directory lists staff, direct extensions, emails, mailing addresses, and both service divisions.

That case-specific routing can save time because the Northern and Southern Divisions assign separate staff to traffic, criminal, juvenile, child-support, civil, and small-claims work.

Circuit criminal staff in Talladega are assigned by judge and include Amanda Nolen, Shena Curry, and Jona Hunley. Use the current directory before sending private or time-sensitive case material because assignments and extensions can change.

Talladega County Certified Court Copies

A certified copy bears the custodian's authentication and is often needed when a plain printout will not suffice. First identify the holding office. Circuit and District Court records go to the Circuit Clerk. Probate files go to Probate Judge Chad Joiner's separate office. City Police ticket and misdemeanor records may remain with Municipal Court. Asking the wrong office can delay a request even when the name and year are right.

1. Identify the case type, court division, party names, and approximate filing year. Add the case number when known.
2. Check Alacourt or Just One Look for the case and confirm which Talladega County division holds it.
3. Call the assigned clerk staff to confirm the copy fee, certification need, accepted payment, and delivery method.
4. Submit the request in person or mail it to the correct Talladega or Sylacauga address with payment and return information.
5. Compare the received certification and case number with the requested record before relying on it.

Divorce copies have a fully documented local process. Written requests go to Circuit Clerk, P.O. Box 6137, Talladega, AL 35161, and must include both parties' names, the approximate divorce year, and a return mailing address. A plain copy costs $5; a certified copy costs $10.

Confirm any added requirements with the division before mailing money.

Talladega County Circuit Clerk Fees

Fees vary sharply by filing and request. The local Circuit Civil chart states that matters from $20,001 through $50,000 cost $310 to file, while matters above $50,000 or with no stated amount cost $410. A worker's compensation filing is $254. The documented divorce filing charge is $258, and a modification or contempt filing costs $361. Do not use a filing fee as a copy fee.

Talladega County Circuit Clerk Forms

The Alabama AOC E-Forms library supplies official public court forms. Search by form name or number. Talladega's divorce instructions list different sets for contested and uncontested cases and for cases with or without children. The assigned judge may require a different set, and no local form exists for every item, such as the settlement agreement noted on the divorce page.

• PS-08 Petition for Divorce starts the listed local divorce form set.
• PS-21 Answer and Waiver is listed for uncontested cases.
• PS-09 Affidavit of Testimony supports the listed divorce sets.
• CS-41, CS-42, and CS-43 address child-support guidelines in cases with children.
• CS-01 Income Withholding Order appears in the uncontested-with-children set.

Pro se litigants are encouraged to use AlaFile for eligible filings. Forms are not legal advice, and clerk staff cannot choose claims or draft a settlement for a party.

Talladega County Circuit Clerk Access

Alacourt ACCESS and Just One Look provide read-only trial-court access, including Civil, Domestic, Criminal, and Traffic cases. Subscription users can view case detail and available images through Alacourt.com, while Just One Look supports case-by-case access. AlaFile is the electronic filing service, and AlacourtPlus is the processing system used by Circuit Clerk and judge offices. One tool does not serve every task.

The official Brian York biography verifies the current Talladega County Circuit Clerk and local public-service background.

Use the directory, rather than the biography, to route a live records question to the right division and staff member.

The Talladega County elected officials list also identifies Brian York with the county judiciary and names other court officials.

It confirms the clerk's county role, while the Alabama court directory remains the detailed source for record staff, extensions, and office addresses.

Sheriff Jimmy Kilgore's official county contact page serves sheriff business, not certified court-copy requests. An arrest or custody question may begin with the Sheriff's Office, but the filed charge, docket, plea, disposition, and judgment remain Circuit Clerk records once a court case opens.

Talladega County Clerk or Probate

Send Circuit civil, criminal, domestic relations, District civil, small-claims, juvenile, child-support, and District traffic matters to the Circuit Clerk. Send wills, estates, guardianships, conservatorships, adoptions, commitments, name changes, marriage certificates, deeds, and liens to the separate Talladega County Probate Court. Municipal traffic and city misdemeanor records may remain with Talladega Municipal Court.

The Northern Division mailing address is P.O. Box 6137, Talladega, AL 35161. Southern Division mail goes to P.O. Box 183, Sylacauga, AL 35150. Confirm the correct division and payee before mailing a time-sensitive filing or copy request.
