We Are Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Shelby County People Search is a private reference service. We do not retrieve government files, certify copies, verify anyone's current address, or delete entries from outside databases. Those requests must go to the office that keeps the source record. Call 911 in an emergency. Contact local law enforcement if you believe someone is stalking or harassing you.
Where to Request a Record
Choose the Shelby County or Tennessee custodian responsible for the record itself:
- Deeds, liens, plats, and historical marriage collections: contact the Shelby County Register of Deeds and review Shelby County public records access.
- Court cases searched by a party name: begin with the Shelby County court record routes listed on the court records name search.
- Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates: use the Shelby County Health Department, County Clerk, court clerk, or Tennessee Vital Records route identified under Shelby County vital records.
- Voter status and voter-file requests: contact the Shelby County Election Commission or use the official tools described with Shelby County voter records.
- Government, school, phone, property, and historical listings: choose a source from the Shelby County people directories.
- Material that is not online: send a focused Tennessee Public Records Act request to the custodian that made or received the record.
