The Pennsylvania State Records website has a mission to provide every person with the right to seek out and obtain Pennsylvania public records. This right is in accordance with the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, which specifies that all government information and records are presumed public.
The goal of this website is to ensure all members of the general public have the right to access Pennsylvania state public records. This can be done without requiring a reason for accessing such information, or providing personal information, unless the requested information is confidential by law or court decision.
The information documented on this website includes criminal records, court records, and vital records; including over 100 million transparent public records.
