This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Fresno Residents Directory is privately operated. It cannot retrieve records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or change a roll or database. Send those requests to the office that keeps the record. For an emergency, call 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Choose the Right Records Desk
For common Fresno questions, start with the source that actually holds the relevant record:
- Who owns or appears along a street: use the Fresno street directory
- Older volumes and past households: use the Fresno city directory collection notes
- One-person research: follow the Fresno resident lookup path
- Custodian offices and portals: open Fresno resident records offices
- An item that is not online: make a focused request under the California Public Records Act to the named custodian
