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.
Need a Particular Record?
For the questions most often tied to Huntington Beach, start with the record owner rather than with a general message:
- Who owns or lives along a street: see the Huntington Beach street directory
- Old directory volumes and past residents: see the Huntington Beach city directory collections
- Finding or verifying one person: see the Huntington Beach resident lookup walkthrough
- The offices behind the rolls: see Huntington Beach resident records offices
- Records not available online: use the California Public Records Act route with the custodian named for that record type
