Not a government office or records custodian. We operate a private reference site and cannot obtain or certify records, confirm who lives at an address, or remove someone from a government roll. Direct those requests to the agency that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
