This Is a Private Reference, Not a Records Office. We cannot retrieve a file, issue a certified copy, confirm a person's home, or change a database entry. The custodian named for the record must handle those requests. Call 911 in an emergency. Contact local law enforcement if you believe someone is stalking or harassing you.
