Searching Arizona Public Records

Arizona public records allow people to access genealogy information, burial records, birth records, adoption records, sex offender information and property information ...

Public records searches are made by people seeking information that is kept on file and is available to anyone. These searches might be made for a variety of reasons, and there are many free sites and resources today that make finding the information much more easily than in the past. Public records were really not kept until the 1900's, so it is difficult to find information that is older than that. Public records are kept for the most part by states, counties and cities; although there are also federal public records for certain things such as FBI's most wanted fugitives, federal candidate information, and other federal government related information such as Congressional records or the Supreme Court's rulings.

State Information

The same information can be found in any state, such as Arizona. Arizona public records allow people to access genealogy information, burial records, birth records, adoption records and sex offender information. There is also property information, such as ownership of property that is also available.

Arizona public records contain the 1864 census information of the territory of Arizona, which are probably some of the oldest records that have been kept on file. All records can be obtained through the main office in Phoenix, although some records can be obtained in various counties.

Birth certificate copies take a written request form from Arizona public records office. The request has to be notarized or have a copy of picture identification in order to be processed. There is also a fee, usually right around fifteen dollars to cover processing and mailing the copy of the birth certificate. The Arizona public records office has these records from July of 1909, and has abstracts of records that were filed before that date in certain counties.

Death certificates are obtained in much the same way as birth certificates, requiring picture identification or notarization for the request to be processed. The cost of a death certificate is usually less, running about ten dollars instead of fifteen.

Marriage and divorce certificates are not obtained through the state of Arizona public records office but instead through the county where the marriage or divorce was granted. These records are obtained through the Clerk of Superior Court in that particular county. Copies of divorce records can be obtained for approximately fifteen dollars and marriage certificates' cost varies from county to county.

In addition to records, Arizona public records also allows users to search by zip code so that a person can see how many sex offenders live in their neighborhood, or in a neighborhood where they are contemplating on moving, thus allowing safety precautions to be taken for the individuals and their children.
