Haskell County Clerk of the District Court
The Kansas Judicial Branch 26th Judicial District listing identifies Reid Borchetta as Clerk of the District Court for the Haskell County District Court listing. The clerk keeps District Court pleadings, process, case files, dockets, awards, orders, and judgments filed in Haskell County. The office is the practical contact for certified court copies, record requests, filing questions, courthouse-terminal access, and records not available through Kansas CaseSearch.
The Haskell County courthouse is the local filing counter for District Court case records. District-wide court administration also matters because Haskell County is in the 26th Judicial District with Grant, Morton, Seward, Stanton, and Stevens counties. Judges and some district services may be shared across the district, but Haskell County filings and local court record requests still route through the Haskell County District Court clerk channel in Sublette.

What Haskell County Clerk Records Include
The Clerk of the District Court handles records that belong to the court case file. That includes civil petitions, criminal complaints and informations, traffic cases filed in district court, divorce and domestic cases, probate and estate cases, guardianship and conservatorship files, small claims, protection orders, judgments, journal entries, notices, and other filings. Some files are public. Others are limited by Kansas Supreme Court Rule 22, Kansas statutes, or a court order.
- Maintains District Court pleadings, process, case files, dockets, orders, judgments, and awards.
- Receives filings for civil, criminal, domestic, probate, small claims, and traffic cases filed in District Court.
- Provides public access channels through CaseSearch, courthouse terminals, counter requests, mail, and phone help.
- Issues or processes certified copies when a court record is eligible for release.
- Directs requesters away from municipal, county administrative, KBI, or federal records when the file is not a District Court case.
District Clerk vs County Clerk
Kansas creates a split that can confuse Haskell County record searches. The Clerk of the District Court is the court-record custodian. The Haskell County Clerk is a county administrative official. The research identifies Tammy Miller as Haskell County Clerk through the Kansas County Clerks and Election Officials Association southwest district page. That County Clerk office is at 300 S. Inman, PO Box 518, Sublette, KS 67877, phone 620-675-2263, and is not the custodian for district court case files.
| Office | Use For | Do Not Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Clerk of the District Court | District Court case files, divorce, probate, criminal, civil, court copies, court filings | County commission minutes, elections, county tax roll support |
| County Clerk | County administration, election administration, commission records, payroll/accounting, county records not assigned elsewhere | District Court docket sheets, divorce decrees, probate letters, criminal case filings |
| Treasurer | Driver license renewals, motor vehicle, tax payments, tags, passports, treasurer services | Court case records and certified court copies |

City records and city court questions should not be sent to the Haskell County Clerk of the District Court unless a case moved into District Court.
Request Haskell County Clerk Records
The request channel depends on the record. Kansas CaseSearch is the first online path for public District Court case information. A courthouse terminal can be used for some public records not available remotely. Certified copies, older files, and records with access questions should be requested from the Clerk of the District Court by phone, mail, or in person. KORA does not create one central Kansas repository, so the specific custodian matters.
| Channel | Best Use | Haskell County Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Online | Kansas CaseSearch for public District Court case data | Use county, case number, party name, business name, citation, or available filters. |
| Courthouse terminal | Public records not available remotely | Available at the courthouse subject to Rule 22 and restrictions. |
| In person | Filing, clerk questions, terminal access, copy requests | Haskell County Courthouse, 300 S Inman, Sublette. |
| Written requests and copy orders | Clerk of the District Court, PO Box 146, Sublette, KS 67877. | |
| Phone | Confirm record location, fee, and access route | 620-675-2671. |
Request Certified Haskell County Copies
A certified copy is an official copy issued by the court clerk. It is often needed for a divorce decree, probate letters, judgment, disposition, or court order. Before requesting one, identify whether the record is a District Court record or a municipal court record. Certified copies of Haskell County District Court records should go to the Clerk of the District Court. City tickets and ordinance cases may require Sublette or Satanta municipal court contact instead.
- Search Kansas CaseSearch or your papers for the case number, party names, case type, and filing date.
- Decide which document is needed, such as a decree, order, disposition, letters, judgment, or docket sheet.
- Call 620-675-2671 or write to the clerk to confirm access, copy type, fee, and delivery options.
- Submit requester name, mailing address, email or phone, document request, copy type, and payment method after the clerk confirms it.
- Use pick up, mail, or another delivery method the clerk permits for that record.
Note: Certified district court copy fees were not located in official Haskell sources, so confirm the amount before mailing payment.
