Clerk of the Court - 15th Circuit - Palm Beach County

We are currently planning a project to make images of documents in the Official Records available on the Internet from 1990 to the present. The above-cited statute indicates that certain individuals can, upon request, have information removed from the Official Records as follows: home address (street and number), phone number, social security number, and photograph. This exemption may also apply to information concerning spouses and children.

Please read the profession category in the following chart to see if you or somebody you know qualifies. Please note that an "X" in the following chart determines which information categories apply to your confidentiality request.

If you believe you have information that is protected by this statute and would like to have it shielded from public view, please contact our office. We will ask you to search the public records to identify specifically which records need to be modified and you must complete the request form, giving us permission to modify the records.

It should be noted that document images that have been sold to private companies prior to our receiving these requests cannot be changed. We are following the guidelines of the May 31, 2000 settlement agreement between the Fraternal Order of Police and the Orange County Comptroller, and are not making any changes to microfilm records. Microfilm rolls containing these images are housed in our offices and have been purchased by private companies. Once images are released on the Internet, we will remove the corresponding microfilm from public view in our offices.

If you have questions or need any additional information, please contact Chief Deputy of Legal Records, Linda Culbertson at (561) 355-2468 or Records Services Manager, Terri Marlen at (561)355-4638.

If requests are received from persons covered under this statute, we will assure that the records are modified prior to the documents being released on the Internet.

Please be aware other government sites may have similar or exact information, and you will need to contact them directly to request similar confidentiality.
