What is the difference between Unlimited Access and a Premium Report?

Unlimited Access allows you to run frequent searches on general public records. It's ideal for basic information needs and routine lookups.

While Premium Reports include more detailed and specialized data sourced from paid databases. These reports may contain information such as property ownership, professional licenses, in-depth court and criminal records, business affiliations, and other comprehensive background details.

Why does a Premium Report incur an additional cost?

Premium Reports provide access to specialized, detailed information from exclusive databases. The extra fee reflects the value of receiving accurate and comprehensive data that isn't available through general searches. This could include highly sensitive information such as additional Criminal Records, Bankruptcy Filings, Tax & Property Liens, Legal Judgments, Lawsuits, Probate Cases, Small Claims Cases, Employment History, Eviction Records, in-depth Property Ownership Records, UCC Filings, Corporate Affiliations, Pilot Licenses, Weapon & Hunting Permits, and much, much more!

Do I have to buy a Premium Report?

No, you don't have to! If you have an Unlimited Access subscription with StateRecords.org, you can use the unlimited search menu as much as you like without any obligation to purchase Premium Reports.

Do you offer hard copies of records?

StateRecords.org does not provide physical copies of reports. All reports are available as downloadable PDFs, which you can print if you need a hard copy. If you need assistance accessing or downloading your report, please contact us at (855) 938-5042.

Data

What type of information will I be able to access?

StateRecords.org offers the following searches: Arrest/Warrant Search, Background Check, Criminal Records Search, Sex Offender Search, People Search by Name, People Search by Address, Reverse Phone Search, Reverse IP Search, Birth Records Search, Marriage/Divorce Records Search, Death Records Search, Inmate Search, Relative Search, Neighborhood Check, Business Name Search, Reverse Email Lookup, Property Ownership Search, Asset Search and more.

To learn more about data availability please visit our Data Coverage page.

How up-to-date is your data?

Our service provides access to various public records, but the data comes from sources beyond the control of StateRecords.org.org. Because of this, the information may not always be fully accurate or complete. For more details, please refer to the Warranties section in our Terms and Conditions. As such, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or availability of public records.

Why does the data from the preliminary search differ from the data in the Member's Area?

The preliminary search accesses basic people databases to confirm the individual's existence in the United States and is intended for reference only. Because it uses a limited data set, the results may not match the more comprehensive search results you get in the Member's Area, even when using the same search details.

What should I do if my search returns outdated or incorrect information?

If you encounter outdated or incorrect information in your search results, please reach out to our Customer Support team. You can contact us via our contact form or call (855) 938-5042, and we'll do our best to assist you.

Privacy

What does opting out mean?

Opting out means requesting the removal of your personal information from the processing of your personal information within our database. Once processed, your details will no longer appear in search results on our platform.

Why do I need to provide personal details to opt out?

We require personal information, such as your name and location, to accurately identify and remove your specific records. This ensures we don't mistakenly impact someone else's data.

How long does it take to remove my information?

Your information is typically removed within 24-48 hours after submitting your request. You'll receive an email confirmation once the process is complete.

Can my information reappear after I opt out?

If your personal information is republished in public records or other sources we use in a new record, it may reappear in our database. If this happens, you can submit another opt-out request to have it removed again.

Can I opt out for someone else?

Yes, you can submit an opt-out request on behalf of another person. You'll need to provide their personal details to locate their record and to verify that the other person has given you permission to opt out for them. For instance, in some cases, you may need to verify your relationship to them (e.g., as a parent, guardian, or legal representative).

How do I know my opt-out request was successful?

Once your information is removed, you'll receive an email confirmation. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder or contact our compliance team for assistance.

What if I can't find my record?

If you're having trouble locating your record, double-check that the information you entered matches what's in our database (e.g., try variations of your name or previous addresses). If you still can't find it, reach out to our compliance team for help.

Can I remove multiple records at once?

Yes, if we maintain multiple records (e.g., due to name variations or past addresses) related to your personal information, you can select all relevant records during the opt-out process and remove them in one request.

Is my information safe during the opt-out process?

Absolutely. We only use the information you provide to locate and remove your data from our database. It will not be shared, sold, or used for any other purpose.

Does opting out remove my information from other websites?

No, opting out only removes your information from our database. To remove your information from other sites, you'll need to submit opt-out requests to each site individually.

How often should I check if my information has been removed?

We recommend checking your status yearly to ensure your information hasn't reappeared. If it has, you can submit another opt-out request.

What if I run into problems during the opt-out process?

If you encounter any issues, contact our compliance team at:
Email: support@staterecords.org
Phone: (855) 938-5042
