Generally, the record custodian of such documents must acquiesce to your request under the Florida Public Records Law. However, certain records may prove tricky to get because they are under seal or contain sensitive information. But you can still get these records if you can get the judiciary to grant you access.

If you seek specific records such as property records or information on someone in the county jail, we have put together clear instructions on how to do just that.
