The Court Reporting Department is responsible for making a verbatim record of proceedings held in the courthouse. Matters reported include all felony criminal matters, juvenile, mental health, grand jury hearings, civil, family law, probate, law and motion calendars, and any other hearing where a reporter is requested.

If you would like to request a transcript, please complete the Transcript Request Form and either mail or fax it into the Court Reporting Department. You may also call in your request at the number on the form or email it to courtreporting@ventura.courts.ca.gov. After a request is made, the reporter will contact you to give you an estimate of cost and a time estimate to prepare the transcript. Be sure to include a “Rush” on the form if you need the transcript expedited. There may be an additional cost to an expedited transcript.

If your matter was electronically recorded, you may also request a transcript from the Court Reporting Department. Please direct your request to Court Reporting Services.
