Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

The office. The county's own County Courts page seats the office: "Belinda Parker, Clerk: [email protected]" - "The Clerk of Superior Court is an elected official, a constitutional officer. The Superior Court Clerk's Office is a vital entity for all branches of the judicial system" - serving the "Superior, State and Juvenile Courts". The page carries the Southern Judicial Circuit's judicial-emergency order - Chief Judge "for the Southern Judicial Circuit of the State of Georgia ... declares a judicial emergency in all counties of the Southern Judicial District Circuit ... due to Hurricane Helene" - and prints no discharge line, so the recording duty is the statute's. The board's July 6, 2026 minutes record the Technology Fee resolution "for fines and fees for multiple courts for the Clerk of Court" that went to legislation. The statute. Georgia's clerks of the superior court record discharges under O.C.G.A. 15-6-78 and keep them confidential for fifty years under 15-6-72, with free copies to the authorized list (the State entries carry the sections and the synopsis); a Brooks veteran records the DD-214 at the clerk's office in the Brooks County Courthouse at Quitman and asks there for copies.
