You can get it from courts, sheriff's office or you can even get it online in a few seconds, but choose a trusted website providing this service, It will cost you anyway(at courts or online) about 10$ or 15$ dollars.

So if you need an official paper-print, you must get it from courts. It may take some days.

If you need that just to check your records, it is better to get it online. It will cost you the same price, but it is fast.
