This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site for Madison County, Mississippi. We cannot pull official documents, file paperwork, or issue certified copies for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office in Canton directly.
Need an Official Document?
Madison County splits its court records across more than one office and more than one building in Canton, so the right contact depends on the record you need. Here's where to look for the records most people ask about:
- Court case files: contact the Madison County Circuit Clerk or the relevant Circuit Court
- Marriage and divorce records: see marriage and divorce records
- Probate, wills, and estates: see probate records held by the Chancery Court
- Criminal and arrest records: see criminal records
- Jail roster: see inmate records
- Active warrants: see warrant records
- Land records, county minutes, and other county records: contact the Chancery Clerk
The Circuit Clerk, Anita Wray, is the custodian for Circuit Court, County Court, and Youth Court records, civil and criminal trial dockets, judgment rolls, marriage licenses, and court costs, fines, and assessments. Her office works from two counters:

Because the buildings and counters are split, it helps to confirm which office holds your record before you drive to Canton, and to call ahead if you need certified copies or accessible-entry details.
