Questions about an official Nicholas County court docket or case record must go to the clerk that keeps the file. This private site cannot retrieve a file, alter a setting, or answer for a court. Circuit and Family Court requests generally go to the Nicholas County Circuit Clerk. Magistrate case, traffic, and small-claim requests go to the Magistrate Court Clerk. The contacts below help route each request to the office that can provide an authoritative answer.

This Is Not a Court or Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull dockets, change or reset court dates, remove or seal cases, issue certified copies, or give legal advice for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the clerk of court or the trial court directly.

Need an Official Docket or Record?

Use the court level and record type to route a Nicholas County request:

  • Circuit or Family docket: use WVPASS search instructions, then contact the Circuit Clerk for an official copy
  • Circuit court date: check WVPASS and confirm the setting with the Circuit Clerk or the assigned judge's office
  • Magistrate case or traffic file: use MCR Search as a locator, then ask the Magistrate Court Clerk for documents
  • Certified circuit copy: state whether a plain or certified copy is needed and ask the Circuit Clerk to confirm the full fee
  • Probate, estate, will, or deed: contact the Nicholas County Clerk rather than either court clerk
  • Municipal citation: contact the Summersville or Richwood municipal clerk named on the citation
