Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO)

Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO) is a new application to provide online access to Minnesota state district (trial) court records and documents. During its first phase of rollout, and for the first time ever, MCRO provides online access to many public district court documents. MCRO will eventually replace MPA Remote as the online platform for public access to district court records. MPA Remote will continue to be fully accessible to the public until all three phases of the MCRO rollout are complete.

During Phase 1, documents filed in a case are only accessible when searching with the case number. While there is no charge for documents at this time, when MCRO is fully implemented, there will be a charge per document.
