Court Administration Service Center
The Court Administration Service Center is designed as a self-help area for members of the public who need to have access to the Court system.
Public computer terminals are available for people to conduct research on judgments and case files. The Service Center is located in the Stearns County Courthouse, Room 134. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
There are many forms available to assist the self-represented person with issues such as:
- Evictions process and rent escrow
- Forms to file in Conciliation Court
- Brochures explaining various court procedures
- Forms for filing for and modifying an Order for Protection or Harassment Restraining Order
Please note: No cell phones are allowed inside the courthouse or courts facility buildings. If you bring your cell phone with you, you will be asked to leave it at the door in a storage area (which is unsecured), or return to your vehicle to leave it there.
