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.
Where to Request a Specific Record
Use the Council Bluffs route that matches the record or question:
- Who owns or lives along a street: use the Council Bluffs street directory
- Old directory volumes and past residents: consult the Council Bluffs city directory collections
- Finding or verifying one person: follow the Council Bluffs resident lookup workflow
- The offices behind the rolls: review Council Bluffs resident records offices
- Records not available online: make a request to the custodian under the Iowa Public Records Act, Iowa Code Chapter 22
