About PublicRecords.us

PublicRecords.us is a consumer website where you pay $5 to access public records for any individual in the United States. The actual reports will vary based on the person and the state and county they live in, but can include publicly available information like property taxes, criminal records, court records, deeds or vehicle records.

Pros
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Access records from any state
Cons
  • Payment required upfront

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 costs $5 per report. 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.

    I was confused about a few things pertaining to the website and Anthony guided me through it. I really appreciate his helpfulness. I wish I could have spoken to him rather than text but it worked out fine. I wish I could have corrected the wrong info about my property with him but I know where to go now.

      The customer service agent was very helpful in resolving the issue. There was an invalid charge related to my property records. I didn’t authorize this charge and had to initiate an inquiry with the customer service agent. He looked into it and quickly resolved the issue. I also requested to close my account which he did subsequently.

      I appreciate that I was asked if my request for property records gave me what I was looking for. Normally, when I request an item, I do not receive feedback asking if I received what I wanted. I replied that I did not receive the Assessor's Map that I was hoping to receive. In one day, I received the Assessor's Map. Thanks for the great service.

      The cancellation was very quick and I even got a partial refund. They were unable to locate my account at first and reached out promptly to ask for more details. Once I gave them, they very quickly cancelled my subscription. I am now writing now to complete the word count. There’s nothing more I really need to say.

      I am pleasantly surprised about the customer service being wonderful. Margaret was great with her customer service. She was very concise and quick to my needs. She understood my situation and resolved it much more quickly than I thought the problem would take. I appreciated it greatly and it made my day.

      Process

      Reviewed June 1, 2025

      The process was fairly simple -- I entered my address, and after entering my credit card information, everything appeared as promised. It was only a dollar, but I do think that alerting folks earlier in the process as to the possible fees (there were numerous options for types of reports) would be courteous.

      This person forwarded my questions and stated that I would have a reply by 24 hours. And also another question regarding a person that was listed as a residence but we do not know of this person, nor have they lived at my mom's property. Noted that records are not always accurate.
