The Problem with Finding Public Records

Finding government information and public records used to be confusing and hard:

3,000+ Counties in the United States
750,000+ Government offices we track
140,000+ FREE public records databases
Millions People helped every year

When CountyOffice.org (formerly County-Clerks.com) started in 2014, people had big problems getting basic government information. Public records were spread out across thousands of local offices. Each office had different rules, hours, and ways of doing things. There was no single place to find what you needed. People wasted hours trying to find the right office or figure out confusing systems.
