Public Records can be searched either by accessing free public records online or
by requesting a copy from the agency holding the documentation, usually for a
small fee.
Data (information) from all sources are collected by Information Distributors
who, in turn, market and sell that information to others.
Information Resources:
The government, at all levels, records every
important event, transaction, and litigation concerning its citizens. Most of
these records are created at the local or county level. The Bureau of Vital
Statistics maintains data concerning births, marriages, divorces, and deaths.
The circuit and county courts have data pertaining to civil and criminal cases.
Various departments maintain applications for licenses for a variety of
activities from fishing to business occupational licenses. Most of these
records are periodically forwarded to the state, usually in summary form,
meaning they may not contain all the information that was in the original file.

Records & Listings & Fees
If fees are applicable for the information you need, the listing will be so
noted. In these days of diminished operating budgets and creative
revenue-raising strategies, a governing body's decision to charge a "search fee"
might be quietly implemented without dissenting vote. There are three types of
fees typically charged:
- Record fee: Fee per
- Search fee: Fee charged if a physical search must be made
- Copy fee: Fee per copy
The amount of the fee should be determined before a request is
made. Call or fax the agency before making a request for information - not only
about fee structures, but also about regulations, laws, policies, and form
requirements.
