About Us
Welcome to CaliforniaPublicRecords.us, your comprehensive guide to understanding and accessing public records across the state of California. Our mission is to make government transparency accessible to everyone by providing clear, accurate, and up-to-date information about the California Public Records Law and the various types of records available to the public.
Under the California Public Records Law (Title 36, Chapter 12 of the California Code), every citizen has the right to inspect and obtain copies of public records created or maintained by government agencies. These records include vital documents, court files, criminal history data, property records, and other materials produced in the course of official public business.
At CaliforniaPublicRecords.us, we provide guidance and educational resources to help individuals, researchers, and professionals navigate the process of requesting public records from the appropriate state or local agencies. Our platform outlines how to locate and obtain commonly requested documents, such as:
- Birth Records
- Court Records
- Criminal Records
- Death Records
- Divorce Records
- Inmate Records
- Marriage Records
- Traffic Violation Records
We also explain where to submit public records requests, what fees may apply, and which documents may be exempt from disclosure under California law.
Our goal is to simplify the public records request process and promote openness, accountability, and transparency within California public institutions.
