Alexandria’s Clerk of Court Greg Parks hosted a ribbon cutting March 12 to officially open the West End Service Center of the Alexandria Clerk of Circuit Court in the Redella S. “Del” Pepper Community Resource Center.

“I am extremely pleased to be able to open this new branch office in the West End of our city,” Parks said. “It brings critical services to an area where many residents live and work. With free parking at the Del Pepper Center, residents can get what they need from the Clerk’s Office conveniently and quickly without having to go downtown to the Courthouse.”

“I wanted to open an office where we can provide access to justice to more people within Alexandria.”

Located at 4850 Mark Center Drive, the Clerk’s Office West End branch will offer most services available at the Courthouse, including marriage licenses, notary qualifications, concealed handgun permit applications (and free trigger locks), certified copies of circuit court records, land records research, and payment of court costs and fines. Court case filings cannot be made at the branch office at this time, but that service is expected to be available in the near future.    

“I was raised by a mother who was very much committed to public service,” Parks said. “One of the things this office allows me to do is to be of service to the residents of Alexandria. I wanted to open an office where we can provide access to justice to more people within Alexandria. A lot of people live in West End and this is to provide them services that they can only get from the Clerk’s office. We are bringing our services to the residents.”

The Clerk’s Office West End branch will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays only.
