This is not a government office or records custodian. Santa Clara Residents Directory is a private reference. It cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or change a roll. Those requests belong with the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Find the Right Santa Clara Record Office
Use the route that matches the question. The Santa Clara street directory covers address-keyed records, the city directory collections cover older volumes, and the resident lookup page separates court, vital, property, and state sources. The California Public Records Act is the state request framework for existing disclosable records.

When writing to an office, include the record type, department, address or APN, case or permit number, inclusive dates, and the preferred format. Ask for an existing record rather than an answer to a broad identity question.
