Court Access Fees on the RISE... Why?

Court access fees are on the rise. What does that mean to the screening industry and the clients that we serve?

In years past we would see updates to court access fees maybe every quarter or every six months. In the last year we are seeing updated court access fees every month and the additional fees to access court records are starting to stack up.

By my calculations court access fees billed to clients at my background screening company went up by more than 15% in 2024. This is a pretty big increase.

The Los Angeles County Superior court has announced that partial dates of birth will be removed from the public kiosks and from the court website.

What does this mean? How does it impact you?

The Los Angeles County Superior Court announced on February 20th that as of the close of business on Friday, February 23rd that partial dates of birth will no longer be available via KIOSKS or ONLINE.

If you read this release carefully you will notice that the partial dates of birth will be removed from the court website and the publicly available KIOSKS. It doesn’t say that they dates of birth wont’ be available with clerk assisted searches.

So, what does this mean? What is the true impact to background screeners, employers, and landlords?
