We Are Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This is a private reference service. We cannot retrieve or certify a record, verify who lives at an address, or alter a public roll. Send those requests to the office that controls the record. For an emergency, call 911. If records are being used to stalk or harass you, contact local police.
