WHAT ARE PUBLIC RECORDS?


JuriSearch is pleased to offer Public Records to its subscribers. This is public information obtained directly from governmental entities or from reputable third parties that have compiled the information from governmental agencies.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

In order to access JuriSearch's Public Records database, you must be a subscriber to JuriSearch, and you must establish a prepaid account via credit card. The cost of each search will be charged against the prepaid account at the time of the search.  NOTE: Even customers who are signed up for a free trial will be charged for Public Records searches.

HOW MUCH DOES A SEARCH COST?

Depending on the database you are searching, costs range from $1 per search to $15 per search no matter how many hits. Prices are subject to change. There's no charge for a search that yields zero results with the sole exception of the LA Municipal Criminal database. If you choose to search the LA Municipal Criminal database, you will be charged whether or not your search yields results.

On the other hand, you can use our Ultimate Weapon Search - a preliminary search indicating where you are likely to find more information - for only $1! This is a way of pre-searching our databases to determine where you are likely to find additional information - before you spend any money on a specific search.

WHAT IF THERE ARE TOO MANY "HITS" TO BE USEFUL?

If a search results in too many hits - over 500 - then you will not be charged for that search and you will automatically be prompted to narrow your search. If you choose to search the LA Municipal Criminal database, you will be charged whether or not your search results in any hits or in too many hits.

  • The "Ultimate Weapon" ($1.00!)

California Corporations and Limited Partnerships (Includes LLC's) ($5.00 per search)

Each year, all corporations are required to file with the Secretary of State a list of corporate officers, office addresses and other information. Such corporations are subject to corporation taxes administered by the Franchise Tax Board. Sole proprietorships are not required to provide documentation and are not included in this data. When a revised Statement of Officers is filed with the Secretary of State, JuriSearch adds the revision without purging the old record. This gives you valuable historical information other vendors may not provide. This file is updated weekly.

The California Corporations and Limited Partnerships database is a powerful tool to research an individual who is involved with numerous separate corporations and/or limited partnerships. This database can also be used to verify the existence and names of principal officers of a company in which you are interested in doing business. The ability to search by address will also give you a list of multiple businesses operating from the same address.

Corporations and Limited Partnerships are searched simultaneously, eliminating the need to run two separate searches. When this database is used along with our Fictitious Business Names Indexes and Professional Licenses from the Department of Consumer Affairs, you can compile a good professional background picture on an individual involved in numerous activities.

The listed charges include up to 500 hits per search. If you get more than 500 hits, you will not be charged, and you will automatically be prompted to narrow your search.
