St. Peters Court Docket

St. Peters court docket records are available through the city's municipal court and the St. Charles County Circuit Court. The municipal court is a division of the 11th Judicial Circuit and handles city ordinance violations. The court switched to a new records system on June 1, 2021, so court docket records are split between two search tools depending on the citation date. You can search online through Missouri Case.net for newer cases, or contact the court office at 636-279-8280 for records from the old system.

St. Peters Municipal Court Docket

The St. Peters Municipal Court is a division of the 11th Judicial Circuit Court. The court has jurisdiction over all violations of the city's municipal code. The key date to know is June 1, 2021. Citations issued on or after that date are in the new statewide system and searchable on Case.net. Citations from before that date are in a separate system.

If you want to plead guilty and pay the standard fine for certain charges, you can use the online payment links and skip the court appearance entirely. A convenience fee applies to every credit card transaction, whether you pay in person, online, or by phone. Call 636-279-8280 for help figuring out which system holds your St. Peters court docket records.

The split system can be confusing. If you search Case.net and your case does not show up, it was probably issued before June 2021. Call the court office for those older records.

The St. Peters Police Records Division handles incident reports, accident reports, and fingerprinting services. Contact them at 636-477-6600 ext. 3525, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Traffic accident reports are available seven days after the incident date. Other records take about three business days for research and copying.
