Pierce County courthouses provide a safe and secure environment for the public and staff. Citizens who enter facilities housing Superior Courts, District Courts, Municipal Courts and Juvenile Courts are required to pass through security screening checkpoints.

Help keep your experience simple by arriving a few minutes early, prepared for the screening process, and by cooperating with security staff and law enforcement officer's requests and directions.

Can I fax or e-mail the completed background check form?
