Public Records Online Request

By Claire Dowell


If you want to get your hands on Iowa Public Records, you can place a request at the state's Office of the Attorney General. Any member of the general public is given the right to access public records per the Freedom of Information Act. However, not all pieces of information found on the records are revealed to the public because some are considered confidential and the records' owners' right to privacy must be preserved. Only the records' owners, their legal representatives, and authorized individuals can access a full record.

To begin a search, head to the office of the Attorney General and get the proper request form. You can also download it from the office's official website. Supply the necessary pieces of information, present a valid ID, and include your contact details. Certain fees apply for obtaining the files and you can pay them either my money order or through a certified check. There is a no-refund policy for all fees paid regardless of the outcome of the search. You may also direct your search at the exact county and office where the file was made official.

The usual return period for every transaction usually takes a couple of weeks. If you want to get the records sooner than that, you can opt for a rush service for an additional fee. Also, make sure that the information you are providing are accurate because that will be crucial in finding the right record. It will also help if you can provide the exact year that the record was finalized because that will narrow down the search category further.

Public files are often used for running background checks on other people. Employers refer to them so they can hire competitive and law-abiding employees. Landlords use them so they can carefully pick who they accept as tenants. Some, like those who are about to be married, refer to the files to get an idea what kind of people they are associated with.

Public files can also be acquired from online search tools. You can find them all over the Web, but, unfortunately, there are those who claim that they are the real deal when they are actually not. Bear in mind that not everything that are posted on the Web are true. Before you pick a search tool to conduct your search on, conduct a history check on them. You can get an idea on whether they are a reliable source or not by checking out user reviews.

There are two types of search tools you can find online where you can do a Records Search: those that require fees for their service and those that offer it for free. The former is capable of compiling an in-depth version of public files. And if you get lucky, it may sometimes include the confidential parts of the files. The latter can do enough research to get you the basic details of the files.
