What are Public Records and Why are They Important?

According to Wikipedia, "With the advent of the Internet and the information age, access to public records in the United States to anyone who wishes to view them has dramatically increased."

But just what are public records, and why should they be important to you?

A public record is any document or piece of information which is not a government secret and is freely available to the public. They usually deal with the local, state, or federal government and, on our site especially, people who interact with these governments (that's just about everyone).

These records can include most of the important government info on everything from a person's criminal record, sex offender status, most civil judgements people are involved in, and more.

They also include most personal information that a person has willingly shared on social media and the rest of the internet like their contact information, public photos, and social media posts.

And why should you care? Because you deserve to know the publicly available, important information on the people you trust and interact with.

While accessing public records is as easy as ever, there are still so many hoops to jump through, and so many different sources that it can make your head spin!
