Mississippi Public Records: A Complete Research Guide

Last Updated on March 21, 2026 by Editorial Staff

Mississippi public records are government-created documents, recordings, and data maintained by public bodies that are accessible under the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983, codified at Miss. Code Ann. §§ 25-61-1 through 25-61-19. The Act declares that “public records must be available for inspection by any person unless otherwise provided by this act” and that “providing access to public records is a duty of each public body.” The Act covers all public bodies — state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, and any entity created by state law — and extends to electronic records with the explicit mandate that “automation of public records must not erode the right of access.”

Residents frequently perform a Mississippi public records search — sometimes called a Mississippi MPRA request, Mississippi open records request, or Mississippi government records request — to locate court filings, property ownership data, criminal history, business registrations, vital records, inmate information, and other government documents. Mississippi has 82 counties, the most counties per area of any state in the Deep South region. Mississippi’s public records framework has several operationally important features: a two-tier response timeline with a one-day default and a seven-working-day maximum under agency-adopted procedures, the Mississippi Ethics Commission as an administrative enforcement body, and a civil penalty structure with mandatory attorney’s fee availability.

⚠️ Legal Notice

Mississippi public records law is governed by the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983, Miss. Code Ann. §§ 25-61-1 through 25-61-19. The Act presumes all records of public bodies are public property accessible to any person. Exemptions include: personnel information; preliminary drafts and working papers; trade secrets and commercial/financial information; active law enforcement investigation files; medical and adoption records; attorney-client privileged communications; geological and geophysical data; personal information of law enforcement and court personnel (§ 25-61-12); competitive sealed proposals prior to award; and any records specifically exempted by other statutes. The Legislature and its committees are explicitly not subject to the Act under § 25-61-17. Note: Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-5 is marked “Repealed effective 7/1/2028” in the 2024 Mississippi Code — this reflects a legislative provision for potential sunset; monitor for any legislative action before the 2028 effective date.

Why Mississippi Public Records Law Is Distinctive

Mississippi has a two-tier response timeline that defaults to one working day if the agency has not adopted written procedures, but allows up to seven working days under agency-adopted procedures — with a hard 14-working-day maximum. Under Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-5(a), if a public body has not adopted written public records procedures, the right to inspect or copy must be provided within one working day of a written request. If the agency has adopted written procedures, those procedures may extend the deadline to up to seven working days. If the agency cannot respond within seven working days, it must provide a written explanation with particularity as to why; the absolute maximum is 14 working days from receipt of the request unless there is mutual agreement of the parties. This structure — with a one-day default for agencies without procedures — creates meaningful pressure for agencies to adopt procedures while maintaining a tight overall cap.

Mississippi’s Ethics Commission serves as the primary administrative enforcement body for public records violations — with authority to subpoena, hold hearings, and issue binding orders — and chancery court enforcement takes priority over all other matters on the docket. The Mississippi Ethics Commission (MEC) has statutory authority under § 25-61-13 to take public records complaints, issue subpoenas, hold hearings, and issue orders compelling production. When a complaint is filed, the public body has 14 days to respond; the Commission may then dismiss or proceed to a hearing. Importantly, a requester is not required to exhaust Ethics Commission remedies before going to chancery court — both tracks are available simultaneously. Chancery court proceedings to enforce the Act take precedence over all other matters on the court docket (§ 25-61-13(3)), creating a priority enforcement mechanism. Attorney’s fees are available to prevailing requesters in court proceedings.

Each Mississippi public body may independently adopt its own “reasonable written procedures” governing the cost, time, place, and method of access — creating significant variation in how agencies respond to requests. Unlike states with standardized agency-wide procedures (Massachusetts with mandatory Records Access Officers, Indiana with 24-hour acknowledgment requirements), Mississippi’s Act delegates substantial procedural discretion to each individual public body. Every state agency, county, municipality, and school district can establish different fee schedules, submission methods, and internal processing timelines, within the seven-working-day maximum. This means researchers must check each agency’s specific procedures before submitting — a request to the Mississippi DOH, the Mississippi DOC, and a county chancery clerk may each involve different forms, channels, and fee structures.

The Mississippi Legislature is explicitly not subject to the Public Records Act — one of the minority of states where the legislature is formally excluded by statute. Under Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-17, “Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to apply to the legislature of the State of Mississippi or any committee or subcommittee thereof.” This is an explicit statutory exclusion, parallel to Massachusetts (M.G.L. c. 66, § 18 for the Legislature) and contrasting with states like Wisconsin and Minnesota where the legislature is covered. For legislative records in Mississippi, the only access route is through the relevant legislative office’s voluntary disclosure practices and the legislature’s own policies.

Mississippi has a unique dual court system where both Circuit Courts and Chancery Courts are general jurisdiction courts — with Chancery Courts also serving as the enforcement venue for public records disputes and the primary custodian of property records and land instruments. Mississippi is one of only a few states to retain a separate Chancery Court system with general equity jurisdiction — covering estates, trusts, divorces, property disputes, and equity matters. The County Chancery Clerk serves not only as the clerk of the Chancery Court but also as the primary recorder of deeds, mortgages, and land instruments for each of Mississippi’s 82 counties. This dual role makes the County Chancery Clerk’s office the single most important county records office for both court records and property records research in Mississippi.

The Mississippi Electronic Courts (MEC) system requires a $10 annual registration fee with a $0.20/page charge for document access — making it one of the few states where accessing the official electronic court system has a cost barrier for the general public. Most states’ official court portals are free (Iowa Courts Online, MassCourts, Case.net in Missouri). Mississippi’s MEC system, while comprehensive and covering most circuit and chancery courts plus appellate courts, requires a paid annual subscription ($10/year) and charges $0.20 per page for document viewing. This creates a modest but real barrier compared to peer states. For basic case status information without documents, some MEC functionality may be accessible without a subscription; for full document access, the subscription is required.

The Legal Framework

Mississippi Court Records

Mississippi has a distinctive dual-track general jurisdiction court system: Circuit Courts (felony criminal prosecutions, civil lawsuits over $200, and appeals from county, justice, and municipal courts) and Chancery Courts (equity matters — estates, trusts, divorces, property disputes, guardianships, and mental commitments). In addition, Mississippi has County Courts (limited jurisdiction; misdemeanors, civil cases under $200,000, and small claims), Justice Courts (limited jurisdiction; misdemeanors, civil cases under $3,500), and Municipal Courts (ordinance violations). The Mississippi Supreme Court (nine justices) is the highest court; the Mississippi Court of Appeals (10 judges) is the intermediate appellate court.

Mississippi Electronic Courts (MEC) — $10 Annual Fee, $0.20/Page

The Mississippi Electronic Courts (MEC) system at courts.ms.gov/mec is the primary online repository for Mississippi court records. MEC covers: the Mississippi Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, most Circuit Courts (covering felony criminal and civil cases), most Chancery Courts (covering equity matters and property records), and participating County Courts. The system is modeled on the federal CM/ECF system.

Access requires registration ($10/year) and charges $0.20 per page for document viewing. To use MEC, go to courts.ms.gov/mec, register with full personal information and a primary email address, pay the $10 annual fee by card or check, and then search by attorney name, party name, or case number. Document access is available for participating courts once registered.

Coverage note: Not all courts participate in MEC. Some county courts, justice courts, and municipal courts do not have their records in MEC. For non-participating courts, contact the county clerk, justice court clerk, or municipal court clerk directly. A full list of participating courts is maintained on the MEC website.

Federal Court Records

Mississippi has three federal judicial districts. The Northern District of Mississippi (Oxford, Aberdeen, and Greenville divisions), the Southern District of Mississippi (Jackson, Hattiesburg, Gulfport, and Natchez divisions). Federal case records are available through PACER (pacer.gov) at $0.10 per page after the quarterly free threshold.

Expungement in Mississippi

Mississippi allows expungement of qualifying criminal records under Miss. Code Ann. § 99-19-71. First-time non-violent felony offenders may petition for expungement after completing their sentence and a required waiting period. Misdemeanor convictions and certain other qualifying offenses may also be expunged. Youth court records are confidential and generally not publicly accessible. Expunged records are sealed and do not appear in public court searches or criminal history checks.

Mississippi Criminal Records

Mississippi DPS Criminal Information Center — $32 Name-Based Check

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS), Criminal Information Center (CIC) maintains the state’s criminal history repository. Name-based criminal background checks are available to the public by mail at a cost of $32 per request. Submit the “Authorization to Release Background Information” form to: Mississippi Department of Public Safety, P.O. Box 958, Jackson, MS 39205 (or the current mailing address per DPS). The check provides records of arrests, charges, and dispositions from Mississippi criminal justice agencies. Fingerprint-based checks are required for certain professional licensing and employment purposes; contact DPS at (601) 987-1212 for fingerprint check procedures.

Note: The DPS criminal history database covers Mississippi criminal records only — not other states, federal convictions, or FBI records.

Mississippi Sex Offender Registry

The Mississippi Sex Offender Registry, maintained by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, is publicly searchable at sor.ms.gov. The registry includes photographs, addresses, and offense information for registered sex offenders. Mississippi requires lifetime registration for certain offenders and tiered registration for others based on risk level. The registry is searchable by name, address, county, and zip code at no cost.

Mississippi Property Records

Mississippi property records are maintained at the county level through the County Chancery Clerk, who serves the dual role of court clerk for the Chancery Court and recorder of deeds, mortgages, and other land instruments. The County Tax Assessor maintains property ownership, assessed value, and tax records. Mississippi has 82 counties. There is no statewide consolidated property records portal, though many Chancery Clerk offices provide free online access, particularly in larger counties (Hinds, Harrison, DeSoto, Rankin, Madison, Jackson, and Forrest Counties).

County Chancery Clerk — Land Instruments

The County Chancery Clerk records and indexes deeds, deeds of trust (mortgages), liens, and other property instruments. When property is sold in Mississippi, the deed is recorded with the Chancery Clerk in the county where the property is located. Mississippi imposes a real estate transfer tax; sale prices are generally determinable from the tax stamps on recorded deeds. In Mississippi, the Chancery Clerk holds all recorded land title records — not a separate “County Recorder” office as in many states. The Chancery Clerk also maintains divorce records and other equity court records, making it the single most important county records office for property, family law, and equity matters.

County Tax Assessor — Ownership and Valuation

The County Tax Assessor (sometimes combined with the County Tax Collector in some counties) maintains current property ownership, assessed values, and tax records. Mississippi assesses real property at a percentage of true value based on property class. Most Mississippi county tax assessor offices provide free online parcel searching by owner name, address, or parcel number.

Mississippi Business Records

The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Business Services Division at sos.ms.gov maintains business entity records. The free online search covers corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited liability partnerships, and other registered entities. Entity status, registered agent, principal address, and filing history are publicly accessible. UCC financing statement filings are also maintained by the Secretary of State and publicly searchable. Mississippi requires annual report filings for most entities; failure to file may result in administrative dissolution, which is visible in the public search.

Mississippi Vital Records

The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Bureau of Vital Statistics maintains statewide vital records. Birth records are available from November 1, 1912 to the present. Death, marriage, and divorce records are also maintained at the state level. Mississippi vital records are not public records under Miss. Code Ann. § 41-57-2 — access is restricted to persons with a “direct or tangible interest” (for births and deaths) or “legitimate and tangible interest” (for other records). Requesters must state their purpose and relationship to the subject of the record.

Fees

• Birth certificates: $17 per certified copy
• Death certificates: $17 per certified copy
• Marriage certificates: $17 per certified copy
• Divorce records: Maintained by the County Chancery Clerk in the county where the divorce was granted; fees vary by county

How to Order

Records may be ordered in person at the MSDH Vital Records Office (222 Marketridge Drive, Ridgeland, MS 39157; Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.), by mail (Mississippi Vital Records, P.O. Box 1700, Jackson, MS 39215), or online through VitalChek (additional service fees apply). Processing times vary; mail orders typically take 10–15 business days. In-person walk-in service is generally available on the same day.

Who Can Obtain Certified Copies

Access is restricted under § 41-57-2 to: the registrant (if 18 or older), parents named on the record, a spouse, adult children, grandparents, siblings, and legal representatives. Government-issued photo ID and, for family members, proof of relationship are required. Requesters must state their purpose and tangible interest in the record.

Historical Records

The Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) at mdah.ms.gov holds older vital records, census records, and genealogical collections — including birth, death, and marriage records predating statewide registration. The MDAH maintains an extensive research library and provides online access to some historical records through the Mississippi Digital Library (mdah.ms.gov/digital). FamilySearch and Ancestry.com also hold significant Mississippi genealogical collections.

Mississippi Inmate and Corrections Records

The Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) provides a free public inmate search at mdoc.ms.gov. The search covers individuals currently incarcerated in Mississippi state correctional facilities and individuals on supervision or parole. Results include offense information, sentence details, current facility, and expected release date. County jail records are maintained by individual county sheriff’s offices — most Mississippi county sheriffs provide online jail roster tools.

Professional License Records

Mississippi professional licensing is distributed across numerous boards and agencies. The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure (msbml.ms.gov), Mississippi Board of Nursing (msbn.ms.gov), and other healthcare licensing boards maintain free online license verification with current status and public disciplinary history. The Mississippi State Bar (msbar.org) maintains the official attorney roster with publicly searchable disciplinary history. The Mississippi Real Estate Commission (mrec.ms.gov) licenses real estate agents and brokers.

Charity and Nonprofit Records

Charitable organizations soliciting contributions in Mississippi are required to register with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Charities Division at sos.ms.gov. The Charities Division maintains a publicly searchable database of registered organizations and annual filings. Mississippi requires registration for most organizations raising more than $25,000 annually from Mississippi donors.

For federal tax-exempt organizations (501(c)(3) and related entities), the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (apps.irs.gov/app/eos) provides free access to Form 990 returns and exemption status. ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer (projects.propublica.org/nonprofits) also provides searchable Form 990 data for Mississippi nonprofits.

How to Submit a Mississippi Public Records Request

Any person — regardless of residency, citizenship, or stated purpose — may submit a public records request to any Mississippi public body. The Act does not require a specific form or language. The Act does not prohibit oral requests, though a written request is strongly recommended for documentation purposes and because written procedures may specify written submission as a prerequisite.

Step 1 — Check the Agency’s Written Procedures

Before submitting, check whether the agency has adopted its own written public records procedures (most state agencies have). Agency-adopted procedures may specify the format, submission channel (email, mail, online form), required information, and fee schedule. The Mississippi Ethics Commission has published Model Public Records Rules as a template; many agencies have adopted similar procedures. If no procedures have been adopted, you are entitled to inspect or copy records within one working day of a written request.

Step 2 — Submit a Written Request to the Correct Custodian

Under § 25-61-1, submit the request to the public agency in possession of the records. Describe the records sought with reasonable specificity. There is no statutory requirement to designate a “public records custodian” — send to the agency head or designated records officer if one exists. Cite “Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-5” to signal formal intent. Include your contact information for the agency’s written response. Note the date of submission — the response timeline starts on receipt.

Step 3 — Track the Response Timeline

Under agency-adopted procedures: 7 working days maximum; if delayed, agency must notify in writing with specific explanation; absolute maximum 14 working days absent mutual agreement. Without agency procedures: 1 working day. A failure to timely respond is a violation of the Act. Document all communications carefully.

Step 4 — Review Fee Estimates and Prepay if Required

Agencies may collect fees in advance. Fees must be actual cost — searching, reviewing, duplicating, and mailing — at the pay scale of the lowest-level competent employee. The Ethics Commission recommends a maximum $0.15/page for paper copies. There is no statutory fee waiver provision, but agencies have discretion; requesting a fee waiver for public interest requests is always worth attempting.

Step 5 — Enforce Through Ethics Commission or Chancery Court

If your request is denied or improperly delayed:

• Mississippi Ethics Commission: File a complaint at ethics.ms.gov. Attach a copy of the written denial. The public body has 14 days to respond. The Commission may then dismiss or hold a hearing. The Commission may order production and issue penalties. No exhaustion required before going to court.
• Chancery Court: File in the chancery court of the county where the public body is located (§ 25-61-13). Proceedings take priority over all other matters on the docket. If you prevail, the court may award attorney’s fees and expenses. The general three-year statute of limitations likely applies (no specific window stated in the Act).

Common Mistakes When Researching Mississippi Public Records

Not checking the specific agency’s adopted procedures before submitting. Mississippi’s Public Records Act delegates significant procedural authority to each public body. An agency’s adopted procedures may specify the required submission format, the designated custodian’s email or mailing address, required identification, and fee schedule. Sending a request to the wrong address, in the wrong format, or without required information can result in the agency treating the request as deficient — extending its processing time. Always check the agency’s website for its specific public records policy before submitting.

Expecting the MEC to be free and comprehensive like most state court portals. The Mississippi Electronic Courts system requires a $10 annual subscription plus $0.20/page for documents — unlike Iowa Courts Online, MassCourts, or Arkansas’s Search ARCourts, which are free. Researchers who assume Mississippi’s court portal operates like typical free state portals will be surprised by the registration requirement. For very occasional lookups, visiting the clerk’s office in person at the relevant county courthouse may be more cost-effective than the annual MEC subscription. For high-volume research, the $10 annual fee is minimal, but the per-page charge adds up for document-intensive research.

Confusing the County Chancery Clerk with a court clerk only — it’s also the primary property records custodian. In Mississippi, the County Chancery Clerk wears two hats: (1) clerk of the Chancery Court (handling equity matters including divorces, estates, and property disputes), and (2) recorder of deeds and land instruments (all property transfers, mortgages, and liens). A researcher looking for property records — deeds, deeds of trust, liens — needs to go to the County Chancery Clerk, not a separate “County Recorder” office as in many other states. Failing to locate the correct office is the most common property research mistake in Mississippi.

Not flagging the 2028 sunset provision for § 25-61-5. The core public access provision of the Mississippi Public Records Act (Miss. Code § 25-61-5) is marked “Repealed effective 7/1/2028” in the 2024 Mississippi Code. This indicates the legislature has built in a sunset clause requiring the Act to be re-enacted to remain in force. While this type of sunset provision is often renewed as a matter of course, researchers and practitioners should monitor the 2026 and 2028 legislative sessions to confirm the Act is re-enacted. Until further legislative action, the Act remains in full force.

Filing an Ethics Commission complaint without attaching the written denial. Under the Ethics Commission’s complaint procedures, the person filing a complaint must attach a copy of the written denial of the records request. If no written denial was issued (the agency simply did not respond), document the date of submission and the failure to respond in writing, and attach that documentation. Incomplete complaints may result in delays or dismissal. Ensure all written communications with the agency are preserved before filing with the Commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mississippi public records open to anyone?

Yes — the Mississippi Public Records Act requires no residency and no stated purpose (though purpose may affect fee determination). Any person — individuals, corporations, non-profits, out-of-state requesters — has the right to inspect, copy, or reproduce public records. The Legislature is explicitly excluded by statute. Vital records are also exempted from the Act and are governed by separate access restrictions under § 41-57-2.

Does Mississippi have a FOIA law?

Mississippi does not use the term “FOIA” — its open records law is the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983, Miss. Code §§ 25-61-1–19. The Act is enforced through the Mississippi Ethics Commission and through chancery court. Unlike the federal FOIA, Mississippi’s Act does not require an administrative appeal before filing suit — both the Ethics Commission and chancery court are available concurrently.

Are Mississippi criminal records public?

Criminal history records are available through the Mississippi DPS Criminal Information Center (CIC) for $32/check by mail. Court case records are available through the MEC system ($10/year + $0.20/page) or in person at county clerk offices. The Sex Offender Registry (sor.ms.gov) is free. Expunged records are sealed and not publicly accessible. Youth court records are confidential.

Where are Mississippi property records searched?

Property research in Mississippi requires identifying the correct county and going to the County Chancery Clerk (recorded land instruments — deeds, mortgages, liens) and the County Tax Assessor (ownership and valuation). Mississippi has 82 counties. The County Chancery Clerk is the single most important office for both property records and chancery court records. Most larger county Chancery Clerk offices provide free online access.

Are Mississippi arrest records public?

Arrest records that resulted in criminal charges are generally accessible through the MEC court system and through the DPS criminal history check ($32). Active criminal investigation files are exempt from the Public Records Act. Youth court arrest records are confidential. Expunged records are sealed.

Can a Mississippi public agency charge fees for records?

Yes — agencies may charge actual cost of searching, reviewing, duplicating, and mailing. Staff time must be charged at the pay scale of the lowest-level competent employee. The Ethics Commission recommends $0.15/page for paper copies. Agencies may require prepayment. There is no explicit per-hour cap in the Act. Fee disputes may be raised with the Ethics Commission or in chancery court; charging an unreasonable fee is itself a violation that can trigger personal civil liability (up to $100 per violation).

Final Thoughts

Mississippi’s Public Records Act has meaningful strengths: a one-working-day default for agencies without adopted procedures, a hard 14-working-day maximum, an administrative enforcement body (Ethics Commission) with subpoena and order authority, chancery court priority enforcement, attorney’s fee availability, and a broad definition of public records covering electronic information. Key challenges include the significant variation in agency procedures (each public body sets its own), the MEC subscription fee ($10/year + $0.20/page) creating a modest but real access barrier compared to peer states, the Legislature’s explicit exclusion, the modest $100 civil penalty cap, and the 2028 sunset provision requiring legislative re-enactment monitoring.

The County Chancery Clerk is Mississippi’s most important county records office — covering both court records and land instrument records. The MEC is the primary online court research tool. Vital records are restricted to persons with a tangible interest and carry a $17/copy fee. Criminal history checks cost $32 through the DPS by mail. Property records require county-by-county searching across 82 counties.

For the most common research tasks: court records via MEC (courts.ms.gov/mec; $10/year + $0.20/page) or in person at county Chancery/Circuit clerks; criminal background through DPS ($32/check); property records via county Chancery Clerk and Tax Assessor; vital records via MSDH ($17/copy, restricted access); businesses via Secretary of State (sos.ms.gov, free). When denied records, file a complaint with the Mississippi Ethics Commission (ethics.ms.gov) within a reasonable time or go directly to chancery court.
