Are Court Records Public in Currituck County?

In Currituck County, court records are generally public. Under the North Carolina Public Records Act, members of the public are entitled to examine and copy court records at reasonable hours and under the supervision of the relevant custodian of these records. However, court records sometimes contain sensitive personal or financial information that could be used as a tool to cause undue harm to an individual. As such, the law permits the clerk of the court to use any reasonably available technology to redact sensitive information from public access. This sensitive information includes:

• Social Security Number
• Employer taxpayer-identification numbers
• Passport
• Bank account details
• Credit or debit card number
• Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) or passwords

In such cases, access is restricted to judicial officials, law enforcement personnel, the parties to the case, and their legal counsel. Furthermore, records concerning adoptions, juveniles, involuntary commitments, and incompetency hearings are generally considered confidential and not open to the public.
