Understanding Public Records Access Public records are non-confidential documents or pieces of information kept by government agencies. Birth and death certificates, property deeds, court documents, and business licenses are among these records. Access to public records is essential for transparency, accountability, and informed citizenship. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) gives people in many countries the right to request access to these documents. However, some records may be restricted due to privacy or security concerns. Knowing which agency to contact and how to make a request are essential to knowing how to access public records. Public records provide useful insights into the operations of the government as well as the personal histories of individuals, making them useful for background checks, verifying legal information, and property history research.
