To request the local Court Clerk's Office to retrieve electronic copies from the FRC:
This is an expedited, efficient option to electronically retrieve up to 100 pages, from the same case in the same box, and typically takes 4-6 business hours. If you wish to order electronic copies from the FRC through the Court Clerk's Office, contact the U.S. District Court Clerk's Office in Tulsa OK by phone at 918-699-4700 or in person. The fee for this service consists of three parts: a judiciary administrative fee, an FRC pull and refile fee, and an FRC per page transmission fee (see the Court Fees schedule). The fee will be charged after the court receives the electronic copies from the FRC and calculates the number of pages and the total cost. The fee must be paid before the copies are provided to you.

To request the local Court Clerk's Office to retrieve original records from the FRC:
If you wish to view an archived file at the Court, you must complete a File Retrieval form, available at the Court and on the Court's website at www.oknd.uscourts.gov. The fee for retrieving an entire box of original records from the Federal Records Center must be paid in advance (see the Court Fees schedule). This fee does not include the cost of any copies.
