What You Should Know About Public Records

Public records in the United States are documents or pieces of information that are not considered confidential and are maintained by government agencies. These records can include a wide range of information, such as property records, court documents, marriage and divorce records, and vital statistics like birth and death certificates.

Conducting a public records search allows individuals to access this information for various purposes, such as background checks, legal research, or verifying property ownership. Many states offer online databases where users can search for public records, making it easier to obtain the information they need. However, the availability and accessibility of these records can vary by state and type of record.
