Search Free Government Public Records

By Claire Dowell


Florida Statutes or otherwise more known as the Public Records Law unlocks the databases on Florida public records for the consumption of its constituents. But this privilege comes with certain guidelines and policies imposed in the act of requesting a copy of the public report. Public records consist of many different documents being kept by the various offices. They are mainly composed of criminal records, marriage, divorce, death, birth and among others. The regular update of such files has been mandated by law so that future requestors will be able to get a complete set of data on a specific type of report which they have ordered.

Aside from familiarizing the laws in Florida it is also vital that citizens will have to know where the records are being maintained. Thus, one must find-out the particular locations of these agencies in order to get the search going. These state and local agencies include the narcotics department, highway patrol, police department, law enforcement department, department of health and other groups that are created by the state to help in compiling the records of the people for future use.

All the transactions done from each of these records offices are based in harmony with the existing state and national laws. Thus, leaders must always observe it as they extend public service to people. To get the search going, one must complete the records application form, pay for the service fee and be able to get the records in return. Fees that you are going to be paying must be reasonable enough as it is not retrieved from a commercially designed institution but a public service government which has the duty to be transparent to all the residents in Florida.

Thus, you have to know what it is that you are specifically looking for so that you will know which office to go to. You may either visit the agency in person or call the office to inquire about the requirements and everything that should be done in order to acquire the necessary documents. Today, there have been records offices stationed at each of the local agencies in order to bring the legal reports even much closer to the local residents. People now have the option to visit the county recorder's office where marriage records can be requested from. The Clerk of Court's office has also been installed to accommodate applications on divorce documents.

It was truly a big leap to be able to make the public records accessible at the local level. This would mean that the local police stations and other law enforcement units are more than capable of issuing such legitimate government reports. You have to always remember that it is your legal right to know the truth and that the government should be transparent with it comes to public files. Thus, you can obtain a copy of the legal reports for as long as you go through the legal process.

With the birth of computers and Internet at present, public records searches have become a walk-in-the-park since you no longer have to go out of your house just to perform the lookup. All you have to do is pay for the service fee from an online records provider to be able to download the legal information in no time. The steps are easy; you only have to provide the name of the person whom you are looking for and hit on the search button. After that you get the results you need.
