Requesting Transcripts and DVDs
Complete and submit the Transcript Request Form or Request for Copy of Audio Recording to transcriptsCD@mdcourts.gov to make a request. Be sure to save the completed Request Form to your computer and then email as an attachment.
Please note:
- Submission of a Transcript/DVD Request Form does not obligate you to purchase.
You will be contacted with a cost estimate which requires a deposit before any transcription is performed. - Transcript delivery timeframes are based on the date your deposit is received, not from the date of your request.
- Requests involving minors require authorization by court order, which delays processing time.
- DVDs are not certified for use in court.
