Toombs County Clerk Office
The local office is identified as the Toombs County Clerk of Court and, in Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority records, as the Clerk of Superior Court. Nancy Pittman is listed as the Clerk of Superior Court, with GSCCCA showing her year elected as 2017. The county department page and the Clerk's own site identify the office as the records office for Superior, State, Juvenile, and Magistrate Courts. Probate Court records are administered separately by the Toombs County Probate Court.
The Clerk office is the point of contact for case filings, court copies, many calendar questions, records access, and certified court or real estate records. The Clerk's website also links to case search, court calendars, jury information, legal notices, legal forms, statewide land-record searching, GSCCCA resources, and eCertification. Because the public case-search portal was observed as login-gated, the Clerk counter, phone, email, eCertification service, and calendar page are important fallback channels for Toombs County court records.

What Toombs County Clerk Handles
The Toombs County Clerk of Court / Clerk of Superior Court manages the clerk record side of four courts. Superior Court records include felony, divorce, major civil, equity, and appeals from lower courts. State Court records include misdemeanor, traffic, and civil matters within that court's role. Magistrate Court records include small claims, dispossessory, garnishments, warrants, and preliminary criminal matters. Juvenile records are part of the court structure, but they are restricted and should not be treated like adult public case files.
- Maintains Superior Court, State Court, Juvenile Court, and Magistrate Court case records for Toombs County.
- Provides access to the official Icon Case Management portal when a user has login credentials.
- Routes certified court and real estate records through GSCCCA eCertification when that service applies.
- Posts or directs users to court calendars when calendars are available through the Clerk's site.
- Answers fee, copy, filing, calendar, fax, email, and in-person request questions through the Clerk office.
Records held by the Sheriff's Office are different. Arrest reports, jail records, booking matters, incident reports, and sheriff-held materials use the sheriff open-records process. Probate records also use another office. A requester saves time by matching the record to the keeper before asking for copies.
Request Toombs Certified Copies
Certified copies are official copies authenticated by the Clerk seal or electronic certification process. They may be needed for court use, real estate transactions, appeals, agency filings, or proof that a court document is true and complete. The Clerk's site announces eCertification for certified court and real estate records through GSCCCA eCertification. The notice says users can request certified records electronically at any time and receive secured PDFs after processing by the Clerk's office.
- Identify the court, case number if known, party names, and document type. If the case number is not known, provide enough party and date detail for staff to locate the file.
- Decide whether the record is a Clerk-managed court record, a real estate recording, a Probate Court record, or a sheriff-held record.
- For eligible certified court and real estate records, use the eCertification channel linked by the Clerk's site at ecert.gsccca.org.
- For counter, mail, fax, phone, or email help, contact the Toombs County Clerk of Court office and confirm the copy cost, certification type, and delivery method.
- For calendar or case-status questions, use the Clerk's calendar page or call the office if no calendar entry is posted.
Electronic certification is not the same as an anonymous public case search. The eCertification channel is for certified court and real estate records after processing. The Icon case portal is the case-search system, but the public capture showed a login page only.
Toombs Clerk Request Fields
No single Clerk copy-request form with fixed fields was identified for Toombs County, so a request should include the practical fields the Clerk needs to find and certify the correct court record. More detail is better than a broad request. A person asking for a certified divorce decree, criminal disposition, civil judgment, Magistrate filing, or State Court traffic record should identify the court and document type clearly.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | No, but helpful | Use it if known from the Icon case system, a notice, citation, docket, or prior copy. |
| Party names | Yes | Give full names and any former names used in the court file. |
| Court | Yes | State whether the record is Superior, State, Juvenile, or Magistrate Court. |
| Document type | Yes | Examples include disposition, decree, judgment, warrant filing, pleading, order, or certified copy. |
| Copy type | Yes | Say whether plain copy, certified copy, electronic certification, or exemplified copy is needed. |
| Delivery method | Yes | Ask whether pickup, mail, fax, email, or eCertification is available for that record. |
Juvenile files, sealed files, and records limited by law may require proof of authority or a court order. Court records are usually requested through the Clerk or court process, while law enforcement records go through the sheriff's open-records form.
Toombs County Clerk Fees
Official clerk copy amounts were not listed, so per-page copy prices should be confirmed with the office. The county Commission clerk page says to call the Clerk of Court for filing fees. Related court and copy channels help a requester choose the correct office. Probate copy fees belong to Probate Court, not the Clerk office, and Magistrate filing costs come from the Magistrate civil-suits pages.
| Item | Amount or channel |
|---|---|
| Court filing fees | Call Clerk of Court at 912-526-3501 |
| Certified court and real estate records | Use eCertification at ecert.gsccca.org when eligible |
| Plain or certified copy requests at counter | Fee not located in official clerk source, call 912-526-3501 |
| Magistrate Statement of Claim | $97.00 |
| Magistrate Dispossessory | $72.00 |
| Probate certification under seal | $10.00 through Probate Court |
| Probate exemplification | $15.00 through Probate Court |
Fee routing is part of record routing. A small-claims filing fee may be paid through the Magistrate Court process, while a certified Superior Court order comes from the Clerk. Estate certifications are Probate Court items. Calling before filing avoids using a fee from the wrong court.
Toombs Clerk Forms and Calendars
The Clerk's site links to legal forms, jury information, legal notices, court calendars, GSCCCA resources, eCertification, and statewide land record searching. The court calendars page identifies the Toombs County Clerk of Court and says upcoming court calendars are posted there, although no calendar entries were visible in the text capture. If a calendar is not posted, call the Clerk or the specific court office.
- Clerk of Court official site - case search, calendars, jury information, forms, GSCCCA, and eCertification links.
- Icon Case Management - official case-search entry point that requires a login in the public view.
- GSCCCA Toombs clerk profile - confirms Clerk profile, courts served, address, phone, fax, and county code.
- GSCCCA eCertification - certified court and real estate record request channel.
Mail and Online Clerk Access
Toombs County Clerk access has several channels. Online access includes the Clerk's website, the login-based Icon Case Management portal, and eCertification for certified court and real estate records. In-person service is at the courthouse counter during weekday office hours. Phone service uses 912-526-3501, with fax service at 912-526-8985 and email at nancy.pittman@gscca.org. GSCCCA gives the courthouse address at 100 Courthouse Square, Lyons, GA 30436, and PayYourTix lists P.O. Drawer 530, Lyons, GA 30436 for the Clerk.
Magistrate Court civil suits, dispossessions, and garnishments have an eFiling channel through PeachCourt according to the Toombs Magistrate Court page. That does not turn the Clerk's Icon system into an open public search. It is a filing path for supported Magistrate matters, while the public record or certified-copy request still needs the proper court or Clerk channel.
Note: The Toombs Icon case portal is official, but the public page captured only a login screen with no anonymous search fields.
