PublicRecordsData.us: public records aggregation in the United States

PublicRecordsData.us is an independent service that collects and organizes public record information from public and private sources. The platform itself states that it is not a government agency or a consumer reporting agency, and that it does not issue consumer reports or official documents. Its activity consists of licensing data in bulk from providers that compile records from thousands of public and independent sources nationwide, standardizing formats, removing duplicates, and linking related records to deliver organized, easy-to-read reports.

What a report may include

According to the information published, reports may bring together contact details, property records, tax information, public deed data, county-level filings, and other related public documents, depending on availability. Searches are conducted by name and can be filtered by state; the platform covers all fifty states, although the volume and type of data vary by local jurisdiction. Most reports are generated within minutes and become available online once processing is complete.

Stated limits of use

The service expressly warns that it may not be used for decisions related to consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It also states that a criminal record search does not imply that the person searched has a criminal history, nor does it guarantee that such information will appear in the report. Since data comes from multiple sources, records may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate, and the company does not guarantee their accuracy, currency, or freedom from errors.

Customer care and support

The platform offers support via live chat, phone, and email, with records specialists available around the clock. The site indicates a typical email response time of two to three hours. If the records sought cannot be located, the company provides for the possibility of requesting a refund through its support channels. It also allows users to close their account to end payments through those same channels or via a specific button on the page.

Privacy and information removal

The company describes privacy mechanisms aimed at both the individuals appearing in the records and visitors and account holders. Report subjects may request the removal and suppression of their data from the search directory through a dedicated portal that allows locating the record by name and state, by phone number, or by address. There is also a page for exercising the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for behavioral advertising purposes, with support for opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

Additionally, anyone may submit access, correction, or deletion requests, with or without an account, through an online form, by toll-free phone, or by email. The company warns that it may need to verify identity before completing the request and that, as it is not the original source of the records, it cannot modify data held by a government agency or another provider. For those who meet the requirements of Daniel's Law, there is a specific opt-out procedure that requires sending a link or screenshot of the record, along with full name, date of birth, city and state of residence, and email address.
