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.
Looking for a Specific Record?
The fastest route for the records people ask about most in Staunton:
- Who owns or lives along a street: see the Staunton street directory
- Old directory volumes and past residents: see the Staunton city directory collections
- Finding or verifying one person: see the Staunton resident lookup walkthrough
- The offices behind the rolls: see Staunton resident records offices
- Records not available online: make a specific request under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act with the office that holds the record
For city land, probate, marriage, or court records, contact the Staunton Circuit Court Clerk, 113 E Beverley Street, third floor, Staunton, VA; 540-332-3874. The clerk’s posted weekday hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a defined nonconfidential clerk record, the clerk’s FOIA page lists mail, fax, email, phone, and in-person request methods. Birth and death requests go to the Virginia Department of Health Office of Vital Records, not the city.
