Search Roseville Criminal Cases Online

The Placer County Superior Court offers an online case search through its eCourt public portal at webportal.placerco.org/ecourtpublic. You can search for Roseville criminal cases by entering a name or a case number. The system returns the charges, hearing dates, case status, and courtroom info. It is free and open to the public. No account or registration is needed to search.

The portal covers criminal, civil, family, and other case types across all of Placer County. Roseville cases share the database with cases from Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn, and the rest of the county. To find a specific Roseville case, use the case number if you have it. A name search may bring up cases from multiple cities. Check the filing details and courthouse location to make sure you have the right record.

Like all California courts, remote access has limits. California Rules of Court Rule 2.503 restricts what criminal case documents are available online. The portal shows case indexes, the register of actions, and hearing calendars. Full documents such as probation reports and sealed records are only viewable at the courthouse. The online search is a starting point for finding Roseville criminal court records, not a complete file viewer.
