This is not a government office or records custodian. Richmond Residents Directory is a private reference. It cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm a current occupant, or change a roll. For an immediate emergency call 911. If public information is being used to stalk or harass you, contact local police.
Where Record Questions Belong
Choose the custodian that made or keeps the record. The City of Richmond public-records request route is for identifiable city records, including address-keyed permit and code material. Contra Costa County offices in Martinez handle the Recorder, Assessor, Elections, Tax Collector, and many court functions.
- Street or parcel: use the Richmond Street Directory route for APN, situs, deed, map, and permit sources.
- Old volumes: use the Richmond directory book route for the museum, library, yearbooks, newspapers, and archives.
- One person: use the Richmond Resident Lookup route for court, vital, license, business, and other identity checks.
- Records not online: send a precise California Public Records Act request to the named custodian, rather than asking staff to conduct open-ended research.
Local courthouse contact. The George D. Carroll Courthouse is at 100 37th Street, Richmond, CA 94805; Contra Costa court administration lists (925) 608-1000. The research material does not state public-counter hours, so confirm the current hours with the court before visiting. For historical directories, the Richmond Museum Research Room takes appointments Thursday through Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m., at (510) 235-7387.
