Case number guidance
Trial-court searches accept a 17-character Case ID and require letters to be entered in uppercase. Iowa appellate simple search uses the exact six-digit docket form YY-NNNN.

Iowa's current guide says basic public docket information is available without charge. Advanced searches, schedules, judgments, liens, exhibits, bonds, and service returns require a paid subscription.

Online case information is not the official court record. Confidential cases, including juvenile matters, are excluded; verify consequential details with the clerk of court.
