Norfolk Residents Directory Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We operate a private reference service. We cannot retrieve records, certify copies, establish who lives at an address, or alter a government roll. Send those requests to the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. Anyone facing stalking or harassment should contact local police.
Finding a Norfolk Record
These routes point to the Norfolk records requested most often:
- An owner or an address-linked record: use the Norfolk street directory
- Older directory volumes or former households: use the Norfolk city directory collections
- One person's record trail: use the Norfolk resident lookup route
- The custodians behind public records: see Norfolk resident records offices
- An existing record absent from an index: make a reasonably specific request under Virginia FOIA to the named custodian
