This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We operate a private reference site. We cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or remove anyone from a roll or database. Those requests go to the office that holds the record. For emergencies, dial 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Looking for a Specific Record?
For a Berkeley record, begin with the source that owns the record type:
- Who owns or appears along a street: use the Berkeley street directory
- Old volumes and past households: use the Berkeley city directory collections
- One-person verification: follow the Berkeley resident lookup workflow
- The record-keeping offices: see Berkeley resident records offices
- Records not posted online: ask the named custodian under the California Public Records Act
