Public records are documents that get filed at government agencies (city, state, federal, etc.) They are placed into large databases.

These documents are available to the public, but they can be difficult to access. Companies that provide public records reports (people searches, background checks, reverse phone lookups, etc.) pay to access these databases. They then provide reports to consumers who are interested in obtaining this data quickly and easily.

Where public records are kept?

Public records are created and filed at thousands of public offices and agencies throughout the country. These records are kept (stored) at those offices, which makes it difficult for people to get access to any records they need. These public records are also stored electronically in various databases. Companies that provide public records reports (like people searches, background checks, reverse phone lookups, etc.) access these databases and pull the relevant information based on search criteria. It is possible for someone to get physical copies of public records, but they could involve visiting several locations, waiting for various documents to be made available and paying administrative fees.
