How to Request Farmers Loop Court Records
All records requests for Farmers Loop criminal cases go to the Fairbanks courthouse clerk's office. Go in person to 604 Barnette Street in Fairbanks or call (907) 452-9300.

Copy fees are standard across Alaska courts. Plain copies cost $5 for the first document and $3 for each additional one in the same request. Certified copies are $10 for the first document and $3 per additional one. Certified copies are stamped or sealed by the clerk to confirm they are accurate reproductions of the original court documents. Most official and legal uses require certified copies rather than plain copies.
If you do not have the case number, the clerk can search by name. Extended name research may cost $30 per hour. Standard processing time is five to seven business days. Complex or archived requests take longer. The Fairbanks court can provide audio recordings of hearings on request. Written transcripts are not produced by the court - you would need a private transcription service for that. For older cases, some records may need to be retrieved from an archive, which could add additional time to your request.
What Records Are Available for Farmers Loop Cases
Criminal case records for Farmers Loop are public documents under AS 40.25.110, the Alaska Public Records Act. Available records include criminal complaints, charging documents, bail orders, plea agreements, motions and orders, sentencing records, probation conditions, and final judgments. Both District Court misdemeanor cases and Superior Court felony cases are open to the public by default.
Some records are not available through standard channels. Juvenile criminal cases are sealed. Records sealed by a judge are restricted regardless of the original charge. Victim identifying information and certain witness data may be withheld from publicly accessible documents. Cases that qualify for expungement under AS 12.62.180 may not appear in CourtView or in a standard records request response. Alaska's expungement law applies to arrests not followed by charges, acquittals, and some dismissed cases - but not automatically to all dismissals.
Fairbanks has a substantial military presence nearby at Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air Force Base. Some cases involving military personnel may have been handled through military justice channels rather than the state court system. Those cases would not appear in CourtView. If you are searching for a case involving military personnel and cannot find it in CourtView, it may be a military justice matter handled off the state court system entirely.
