We Are Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This is a private reference service. We cannot retrieve or certify a record, verify a person's address, or remove an entry from an outside database. Contact the office that created the record for those services. Call 911 for an emergency. Contact local police if you believe someone is stalking or harassing you.
Where to Request a Record
Use the custodian that holds the type of San Francisco record you need:
- Deeds, liens, and assessment records: Office of the Assessor-Recorder, City Hall Room 190, phone 415-554-5596; review San Francisco public records
- Court cases by party name: use the San Francisco court-record path or call the criminal records unit at 415-551-0651
- Birth, death, marriage, and divorce documents: check the San Francisco vital-record custodians because the correct office depends on record type and age
- Personal voter status or restricted voter-file access: consult San Francisco voter records
- School, staff, phone, property, and historic lists: compare the San Francisco people directories
- Agency records not posted online: submit a California Public Records Act request to the agency, often through San Francisco NextRequest
