Arizona Public Records

By Ben Kingsley


Since the Arizona public records law has been in placed in the state, residents of the state have been given the freedom to request for any of the public records Arizona has generated and filed under their name. This has made the monitoring of the incidents in the state easy for the government official.

Public documents of Arizona are documents that are important and used by the residents regularly. An example of this is the birth certificate. Such document is generated when a person was born and this is a very important document when dealing with transactions in the government. The documents may include the death certificates as well as the marriage and divorce licenses. Criminal records are also considered as a public document. Such document is used when looking up the criminal history of an individual.

In order to get a copy of any of the public document, it is advisable to file the request at the office where the event or incident took place. Knowing where it can be obtained can help lessen the time for the retrieval of the document. Certificates of birth, marriage, death and divorce are available at the office of the Vital Records Section. It is also available at the office of the county clerk at the county of occurrence. The office of the Department of public Safety is where the criminal records of the state are managed. The office of the county court can also provide a copy f the criminal record. Going to the office is not the only option since the public document can be obtained by sending a mail request. Unfortunately, it is not the fastest method to get a copy of the file.

One should know the requirements in obtaining for a copy of a public document. The basic details of the document being requested such as the name, place and date has to be provided. This can help speed up the retrieval process. The retrieval of a public document would require the contact details of the one who requested for the document. Such information will only be used to monitor the access to the file.

The retrieval for each document is not for free and it would cost from $5 up to $50, depending on the request type. Requesting for the criminal record can cost more than any other documents since it contain confidential information. Searching for the criminal record using the fingerprints would also cost more than the regular name based search.

Now that we are in the information era and the Internet is used as a medium to share information, obtaining a copy of the public document has become breeze. Doing the search online is hassle free. Not only that, but you can also save time in the process since the results are displayed almost instantly. There are a lot of websites out there that offer to obtain any of the public documents that you need. Some would offer a free government public records search while some would charge a certain fee for the retrieval of a particular document. However, many still prefer the paid option to get the best possible results.
