About PublicRecords.us

PublicRecords.us is a consumer website that charges a fee 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.

Visit www.publicrecords.us
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 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.

    I initially believed I was purchasing a one-time $1 property report. I did not realize that it included a recurring membership, and I was surprised when I saw the pending $31 charge on my card. I believe the payment and subscription process should be presented much more clearly so customers can easily understand that they are enrolling in a recurring plan before completing the purchase. That said, I contacted customer support through the live chat, and they responded very quickly. Amanda canceled my account immediately, processed a full refund, and sent a confirmation email within minutes. I truly appreciate their prompt assistance and professional resolution of the issue. My only suggestion is to make the subscription terms more transparent during checkout to help avoid misunderstandings for future customers.

      I had a great experience with their customer service team. They were professional, straightforward, and very responsive throughout the entire process. I needed to cancel my account and request a refund for some additional charges, and they took the time to review everything carefully. They explained the process clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure the issue was resolved as quickly as possible. I really appreciated how easy they made the whole experience. There was no unnecessary back-and-forth, and they handled my request efficiently while keeping me informed along the way. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that provides helpful customer support and works to find a fair solution.

      I had a fantastic experience with the live chat support agent. She responded to each of my messages almost immediately and asked thoughtful questions to fully understand my issue before offering a solution. Her communication was clear, professional, and easy to follow throughout the conversation. What impressed me most was how efficiently she guided me through the process. Rather than providing generic responses, she took the time to address my specific concerns and resolved everything quickly. The entire chat was seamless, and I never felt like I was waiting or repeating myself unnecessarily. Excellent customer service can make all the difference, and this agent delivered exactly that. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely focused on helping me. I truly appreciate the outstanding support and would not hesitate to use the live chat service again.

      This is a scam. Flat-out scam. I was duped into “agreeing” to a recurring charge of $9.95 biweekly? Seriously? To look up ONE record? For 7 months, I’ve paid $20/month for nothing? I’m contacting the BBB next.

      Needed a vehicle report. It generated quickly and was delivered swiftly. However, paying for the report was deceptive in that they claim it's only $1 for the report, but it's an auto-charge for a full report package at $35 that doesn't provide an option to opt out. Customer service was quick, to the point, and very helpful.

      I was scammed by PublicRecords.us for the same reason many other people have been. The website says that for $1 you'll get a property record. After several minutes, the "record" is available, you click on the report and all of the sudden they ask for additional fees for this that and the other. After checking with my bank, I found out that there was a $36 charge pending. I called my bank and reported it as a SCAM! Stay away from this site! You can get public records free from any county you reside!
