Norwalk Court Phone Resources
Norwalk is part of the Stamford-Norwalk Judicial District. The courthouse serving the area handles civil, criminal, family, and housing cases. Since Connecticut's courts are managed by the state, court phone numbers are found on the Connecticut Judicial Branch website rather than the city website. You can search court records online at jud.ct.gov/lookup.htm, which covers most case types and is free to use.
If you need to call the courthouse, the judicial branch site has the direct number for the Stamford-Norwalk clerk's office. Court clerks help with scheduling, filing, and document requests. For legal help, the Connecticut Bar Association runs a referral service, and several legal aid organizations serve the Norwalk area. The city does not manage court services directly, so the Norwalk phone directory will not include court numbers, but the state resources linked here will get you there.
Note: Court hours in the Stamford-Norwalk district may differ from Norwalk city hall hours, so check the judicial branch website before visiting.
Public Records in Norwalk
Public records access in Norwalk is governed by CGS §1-200 and CGS §1-210. The city clerk at (203) 854-7996 is the primary contact for records requests. Common requests include vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates), land records, and meeting minutes. Some records are available online through the city website at norwalkct.gov. Others require an in-person visit or a written request. Fees vary depending on the type of record and whether you need a certified copy.
State-level records can be searched through the Connecticut state portal. The Secretary of the State maintains business and commercial records. Professional licenses are searchable via the eLicense lookup tool. These statewide resources cover areas beyond what the Norwalk city clerk handles.
The Norwalk voter registration page shown below is one example of the city's online tools that residents can use without needing to call.
This tool lets Norwalk residents check their registration status online instead of calling the city clerk.
If a records request is denied in Norwalk, you have the right to appeal to the Freedom of Information Commission at ct.gov/foi. The FOI Commission reviews complaints and can require the release of records that were wrongly withheld. Most Norwalk offices process routine records requests without any issues, but knowing your options is helpful in case you run into a problem.
Finding Norwalk Phone Numbers
The city website at norwalkct.gov is the best place to start when searching for a Norwalk phone number. Department pages list direct lines, email addresses, and office hours. If the website does not have what you need, call the main city hall number at (203) 854-7700. The switchboard operator can search the Norwalk phone directory for any city office.
For state agencies, the Connecticut departments and agencies page covers all state offices with phone numbers. The state Department of Public Health at portal.ct.gov/dph and the public records administration at portal.ct.gov/csl are two state resources that Norwalk residents frequently use. These complement the Norwalk phone directory for needs that fall outside city jurisdiction.
Phone numbers change over time as departments reorganize and staff rotate. Always verify a number through the city website or by calling city hall before relying on an older listing. The Norwalk phone directory on this page reflects the most current publicly available information, but a quick check never hurts.
Fairfield County Information
Norwalk is located in Fairfield County, the state's most populous county. Connecticut does not have county governments, so there is no county office to call. However, many services use county boundaries for organization. The Stamford-Norwalk Judicial District covers Norwalk and parts of Fairfield County. Health districts, planning regions, and transit services also use county-based geography in the area.
The Norwalk phone directory focuses on city contacts, but residents often need county-level court or health district numbers. The state judicial branch and regional health district offices handle these inquiries. Start with the state resources linked on this page if you need a number that goes beyond Norwalk city government.
