About PublicRecords.us

PublicRecords.us is an online database where you can search for public records for individuals across the U.S. It’s a private company that doesn’t have any affiliation with the U.S. government, nor does it have to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that regulates how consumer reporting agencies operate. The company states that any information accessed from its site is not to be used for making decisions on employment, tenant screening or credit extension.

Not all states and counties offer the same access, but common records include the following:

  • Property taxes
  • Property records
  • Deeds
  • Criminal records
  • Sex offender registration
  • Court records
  • Vehicle records
  • County records

How does PublicRecords.us work?

To see what records are available, start by entering a full name and choosing the state you want to search in. After that, you'll be told how many records were found. Then, you’ll go through a series of pop-up windows agreeing to the terms and conditions and acknowledging that the data provided is not guaranteed to be accurate.

You also must confirm you’re at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. After this, you’ll see a payment window asking for credit card information.

You can also request to have your personal information removed from the site’s search results by selecting “Remove My Info” at the bottom of the page and entering your full name and address. Now, any public records associated with your name won’t show up in searches on PublicRecords.us, but that doesn't mean they will be deleted from other public or private databases. This process can take up to 48 hours to complete.

PublicRecords.us costs

PublicRecords.us doesn’t offer any information about pricing on its website, nor were we able to confirm pricing information by reaching out to the company.

If you need to request a refund, you must either call or email the company directly, or you can use the live chat feature on the website. Once you enter your payment information, your records should be available within a couple of minutes.

You can also establish an account with PublicRecords.us to get multiple reports and set up an installment payment plan.

      Reviewed May 5, 2026

      Getting the info I needed was pretty easy, my only gripes are:

      1: The initial 10$ was not clearly stated that this is an ongoing subscription, typically you can create an account and not be subjected to monthly fees anywhere else. For instance, just because I have a Netflix or Hulu account doesn't mean I am actively paying for it. From an I.T. perspective, I get not wanting to save dormant accounts but the wording was ambiguous at best and someone without I.T. knowledge, just using the site as I did to get records on a dead relative for a single time use, is not going to understand this.

      2: Not having a way to close the account yourself on the site is kind of....well, there isn't a good way to say this...dumb. One should not have to reach out to support to close an account. However, I will say the chat was fast and helpful so that's fine. However, most people don't want to talk to support, as unfair as it is, all support gets a bad rep.

      I recently contacted customer support regarding unexpected recurring charges on my account after what I believed was a one-time purchase. Initially, I was concerned because I couldn’t find any clear subscription or cancellation options on the website, which made the situation frustrating. However, once I reached out through the support chat, the representative was responsive and handled my request efficiently. Although there was a brief delay while they accessed my account details, they ultimately confirmed the charges, explained that they were part of a report package subscription, and processed my cancellation without issue.

      What stood out most was that they not only closed my account promptly but also issued a full refund for the recent charges, which I appreciated since I hadn’t intended to enroll in a recurring plan. The confirmation number was provided, and the process felt straightforward once I was connected to support. Overall, while the subscription setup could be more transparent upfront, the customer service experience itself was helpful and resolved my issue satisfactorily.

      Stole $31 and sent me 59 emails. This is a scam service that will steal your money.

      The website states that I would only be charged $1.00 for my report and was charged $31.00. I did not authorized a $31.00 charge. I did not notice it and they charged me another $30 next month. I chatted with an agent and they promised to refund $30. But not the $31. All I needed was to verify that the condo I purchased was publicly in my name. Very deceptive practices. Only if they were more honest, people would use the service more often.

      Cheap upfront charges. Provide little information. Monthly reoccurring charges are difficult to cancel.

      The report was pulled and sent to me very quickly, and contained all the info I needed. The only thing negative I can say is that I was charged 31 dollars for a report account that I did not sign up for. I believed I was just paying 1 dollar for one report. It is possible I checked a box that I didn’t mean to check and made a mistake, but either way customer service very quickly helped me close the account and refunded the charge.
