This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We operate a private reference site. We cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or remove anyone from a roll or database. Those requests go to the office that holds the record. For emergencies, dial 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.

The fastest route for the records people ask about most in National City:
- Who owns or lives along a street: see the National City street directory
- Old directory volumes and past residents: see the National City city directory collections
- Finding or verifying one person: see the National City resident lookup walkthrough
- The offices behind the rolls: see National City resident records offices
- Records not available online: ask the custodian under California’s Public Records Act, Government Code sections 7920.000-7931.000, with a narrow date, address, APN, permit, or record-category request
