Data
What kind of information does StateCourts provide?
StateCourts offers access to an extensive collection of public record data. Depending on availability, our reports may include:
- Identity summaries
- Previous and current addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Known assets and property records
- Relatives, associates, and known connections
- Social media and online profiles
- Vital records (such as birth, death, and marriage)
- Licenses (including professional and driver’s)
- Employment and educational background
- Unclaimed property and funds
- Local demographic and neighborhood insights
- Criminal and traffic history
- Arrest records and outstanding warrants
- Bankruptcy filings, civil judgments, and court documents
Please note: Data availability may vary by jurisdiction and public record access laws.
How frequently is your data updated?
StateCourts updates its data regularly to reflect the most current information available. Certain data types, like criminal records, may be refreshed daily. The frequency of updates depends on the record type and how often our government and third-party data providers release new information.
How reliable is the information provided?
StateCourts compiles data from a wide network of publicly available sources. While we strive to offer accurate and timely information, we do not generate or independently verify the records ourselves. Data is provided "as is" and may vary depending on the source. As such, StateCourts cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of every record and do not offer warranties of any kind, expressed or implied.
How does the initial search differ from the full report?
The preliminary search is designed to help users identify the correct individual by displaying basic identifying information. Once a purchase is made, StateCourts compiles a full, detailed report using more in-depth databases and verified sources. This comprehensive report includes additional information not visible in the initial search preview.
How does the data in the preliminary search compare to the full report?
The preliminary search is a basic lookup designed to help you identify the correct person. It shows limited information to confirm a potential match. After completing a purchase, StateCourts compiles a full report using a broader set of data sources. This report includes more detailed, verified information not available in the initial preview.
What if I can’t find the information I need?
If you're unable to locate specific information, our Customer Care Team is here to assist. Please reach out using our contact form or call us at (877) 787-4805.

Privacy
What does opting out mean?
Opting out means requesting the removal of your personal information from the processing of your personal information within our database. Once processed, your details will no longer appear in search results on our platform.
Why do I need to provide personal details to opt out?
We require personal information, such as your name and location, to accurately identify and remove your specific records. This ensures we don't mistakenly impact someone else's data.
How long does it take to remove my information?
Your information is typically removed within 24-48 hours after submitting your request. You'll receive an email confirmation once the process is complete.
Can my information reappear after I opt out?
If your personal information is republished in public records or other sources we use in a new record, it may reappear in our database. If this happens, you can submit another opt-out request to have it removed again.
Can I opt out for someone else?
Yes, you can submit an opt-out request on behalf of another person. You'll need to provide their personal details to locate their record and to verify that the other person has given you permission to opt out for them. For instance, in some cases, you may need to verify your relationship to them (e.g., as a parent, guardian, or legal representative).
How do I know my opt-out request was successful?
Once your information is removed, you'll receive an email confirmation. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder or contact our Compliance Team for assistance.
What if I can't find my record?
If you're having trouble locating your record, double-check that the information you entered matches what's in our database (e.g., try variations of your name or previous addresses). If you still can't find it, reach out to our Compliance Team for help.
Can I remove multiple records at once?
Yes, if we maintain multiple records (e.g., due to name variations or past addresses) related to your personal information, you can select all relevant records during the opt-out process and remove them in one request.
Is my information safe during the opt-out process?
Absolutely. We only use the information you provide to locate and remove your data from our database. It will not be shared, sold, or used for any other purpose.
Does opting out remove my information from other websites?
No, opting out only removes your information from our database. To remove your information from other sites, you'll need to submit opt-out requests to each site individually.
How often should I check if my information has been removed?
We recommend checking your status yearly to ensure your information hasn't reappeared. If it has, you can submit another opt-out request.
What if I run into problems during the opt-out process?
If you encounter any issues, contact our Compliance Team at:
Email: privacy@statecourts.org
