This is not a public office or custodian. The site is privately operated and cannot certify a copy, confirm a resident, or change an Iowa record. Send record requests to the agency that keeps that record. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
Send Each Record Request to Its Keeper
Use the Iowa custodian responsible for the record type you need:
- Parcel and deed material: start with the county assessor or recorder; Iowa's recorder directory routes you to the county office.
- Historical volumes: use the Iowa city directory collections and the holding library or archive.
- Case records: check Iowa Courts Online for a public docket; public filings may require a courthouse terminal in the filing county.
- State public-records guidance: contact the Iowa Public Information Board about Iowa Code chapter 22. The record request itself goes to the agency that holds the record.
