How to Search Pennsylvania Public Records

Pennsylvania's court, criminal, vital, property, voter, and licensing records are maintained across state agencies and the 67 counties listed below. Use the tabs to filter by record type, or jump directly to any source.

  • Criminal history: The state's criminal-history repository handles official background checks. Fees and procedures are set by the state agency — see the linked official source.
  • Vital records: Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates are issued by the state Department of Health (or equivalent) and may also be available locally.
  • Property & recorded documents: Maintained at the county level by the Assessor, Recorder, or Clerk's office.
  • Business filings: The Secretary of State (or equivalent) operates the official business-entity search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pennsylvania keeps public records at three levels: federal (FBI, federal courts via PACER), state (court of last resort, state police, department of health, secretary of state), and county-level (sheriffs, clerks, recorders, assessors). Each county maintains its own court, criminal-justice, property, and vital-records offices linked from the county pages below.

For statewide trial-court information, start at the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania: www.pacourts.us. Pennsylvania federal cases are searched through PACER. For local case dockets, see the Court Records tab and the county page for your area.

Pennsylvania's official statewide criminal-history check is run by the Pennsylvania State Police - PATCH at epatch.pa.gov. Most state-level checks require fingerprints and a fee. A nationwide FBI Identity History Summary is available separately.

Certified Pennsylvania vital records are issued by the Official Pennsylvania Vital Records at www.health.pa.gov. Recent local events (births, deaths, marriages) can often also be requested from the county clerk or local registrar where the event was filed.

Most online record indexes in Pennsylvania are free to search; fees apply for certified copies, fingerprint background checks, full document images at the recorder, and statewide bulk data. Each agency publishes its current fee schedule — for example the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania (courts), the Official Pennsylvania Vital Records (vital records), the Official Pennsylvania Voter Records (elections), and the Official Pennsylvania Professional & Occupational Licenses (licenses).
