Crawford County Traffic Court Quick Facts
Search Crawford County Traffic Records Online
Indiana's MyCase public search portal is the primary tool for looking up Crawford County traffic court records from any device. The system is free, open to the public, and does not require an account. You can search by the full name of the person charged, the case number, or the UTT (Uniform Traffic Ticket) number printed on the ticket. Results include the charge, hearing dates, current case status, and the disposition once a case wraps up.
New citations take a few business days to appear after the officer files them with the Clerk's Office. If you just received a ticket, wait a few days before searching. The UTT number is the fastest way to pull up your specific case. If you search by name and get multiple results, check the charge and date to confirm you have the right record.
Crawford County is part of Judicial District 24, which also includes Harrison, Orange, and Washington counties. The Indiana Courts Crawford County page has official contact links for the local Circuit Court and the Clerk's Office. There is no standalone county government website for Crawford County, so the Indiana Courts page and the Clerk's Office phone line are the main points of contact for court-related questions.
Note: If your case does not appear in MyCase after several business days, contact the Clerk's Office at (812) 338-2565 to confirm the citation was received and filed correctly.
Pay a Traffic Ticket in Crawford County
Crawford County residents can pay traffic tickets through three channels: online, in person at the courthouse in English, or by mail. Each method has its own payment rules, and personal checks are not accepted through any of them.
The Indiana Courts ePay portal handles online payments for Crawford County traffic tickets. The portal works 24 hours a day. You need your cause number or UTT number to complete the transaction. A convenience fee is charged for credit card payments. Do not use the online portal if you are considering a deferral program, as paying closes out your case and may make you ineligible.
In-person payments are taken at the Crawford County Clerk's Office at the courthouse in English during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. The office accepts cash, money orders, and credit or debit cards. Paying in person gives you the clearest confirmation that your payment has been posted and lets you ask about your case status directly.
Mail payments must be sent as a money order or cashier's check. Write your cause number or UTT number clearly on the payment. Do not mail cash. Allow plenty of time for your payment to arrive and be processed before any court date you have on the calendar. If you are close to a deadline, paying in person or online is safer.
Crawford County Clerk's Office - Contact and Hours
The Crawford County Clerk's Office is located at the Crawford County Courthouse in English, Indiana. Office hours are Monday through Friday during standard business hours.

The Clerk's Office maintains all court records, accepts payments for traffic tickets, and can tell you your case status, upcoming court dates, and what steps to take for various types of requests.
Crawford County does not have a dedicated county website with a clerk's page, so the phone is the best way to get county-specific information.

If you need copies of court records, those are available through the Clerk's Office. Certified copies carry a per-page fee.

Traffic Infractions Under Indiana Law in Crawford County
Traffic citations in Indiana are civil matters. Under Indiana Code Title 34, infraction proceedings follow civil rules of procedure. Standard traffic infractions do not carry jail time. What they do carry are fines, court costs, and points on your driving record maintained by the Indiana BMV. Repeated violations or more serious charges like reckless driving can lead to license suspension.
Indiana Code Title 9 covers motor vehicles and traffic law statewide. It sets out how violations are classified, what the base fines are, and how the BMV processes conviction records. Crawford County courts apply these rules the same way any other Indiana county does. Local variations are limited mostly to how the violations bureau is run and whether the county has a deferral program in place.
Minor violations go through the violations bureau and can be paid without appearing in court. More serious violations or contested cases require a court appearance before the Circuit Court judge. Once the case is decided, the record is public and can be searched through MyCase.
To check what your official state driving record shows, go to the Indiana BMV website. The BMV maintains a separate record from the court system, and both may matter depending on what you need the information for, such as an insurance review or a license reinstatement.
