    I got a ticket on 10/29/20 going into the Forest preserve @ 7am to continue my walk as I have for the past 150 days. This time there was a Forest Preserve cop there to give me a ticket for running a stop sign. Anyhow this made it necessary for me to go to the Skokie Courthouse to pay for (are you ready for this?) a $210 dollar ticket plus having to take traffic safety school so the ticket isn't on my record. I went in today 11/02/20 to take care of this and pay for the fine (what a joke). Going into court buildings you are required empty your pockets and go through metal detectors like the airports. In addition because of the Covid protocol you need to get you temperature scanned and asked the normal Covid symptom questions. You are then directed into a line to stand and wait. I ended waiting about 30 minutes. They have only one person handling the people. I got up to the counter expecting to pay the fine and leave, unfortunately the ticket wasn't in their computer system yet so they couldn't accept a credit card payment. I had to leave the building go to my bank & get a money order, then go through the whole screening process and stand in line again. Talk about killing 3-4hrs that should have been a simple in and out. At least the staff was pretty cool. The police officer at the door was very helpful as were the clerks that processed my payment. Still $210 dollars (OUCH) for a stupid ticket

    Skokie courthouse marriage.

    My now husband and I came here on June 22nd for our scheduled appointment for a courthouse marriage. Our appointment was at 2:30 p.m. though we had to wait awhile before they called our name, turns out it wasn't just us that had the same appointment time. We were the second couple to be called in, the process was extremely quick and easy, and they told us to come back in about 7-10 days for the certified copies of our marriage certificate. I'd recommend the Skokie courthouse for marriage, especially if you're tired of waiting and want something quick during covid. The judges had a mask/face covering on, and we were socially distanced since the podium is a ways away from them.

People walking out being served WITHOUT an appointment. And when it's your turn the clerk tells you no that you need one.

Skokie isn't that far away and just the availability of parking would make it an easier place to visit. This location of the county clerk, inside the Skokie Courthouse, is maybe a mile from Old Orchard Shopping Center (I guess I've never driven in this direction on that road because I had no clue it was here). There's ample parking at the courthouse. Obviously lots of court proceedings take place here but there's also offices for the Cook County Sheriff and other offices, including the clerk. It was a pretty quick visit for me--I was in and out of the building within about ten minutes. The woman who helped me seemed like a pretty unfriendly human, so that was too bad (I never understand this--it's not my fault that you work where you do or that you hate your job or whatever, so I'm not sure why people act as though they hate the fact you're making them do it). As of 2023, copies of a birth certificate are $15 for the first copy and $4 for each additional one. There's a cafeteria here though I don't know if they actually serve food here, at least anymore--maybe that changed during the pandemic. But they do have a lot of tables in the cafeteria. There's also at least one ATM in the building just past the security station. When you visit you'll have to put all your things through the security check so I'd suggest packing lightly.
