Private reference, not a records office. Union County Residents Directory cannot obtain files, certify copies, confirm a person's location, or remove material from a government system. Direct those requests to the custodian. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
Finding the Right Custodian
Use the office that created or keeps the record. The Union County Clerk is the public land-record and certified-copy route. The Board of Elections handles voter-registration procedures and voter-list questions. The Union Vicinage court clerk handles court-file access. A municipal registrar or the New Jersey Department of Health handles vital records, subject to eligibility rules. These public contacts are included to direct record requests, not to submit them through this private site.
- Street and parcel research: use the Union County Streets route, then contact the municipal assessor or Clerk as appropriate.
- Historical directories: use the City Directory collections and library access routes.
- One-name research: use the Resident Lookup record-by-record workflow.

For a non-indexed county administrative record, identify the custodian and use the applicable New Jersey Open Public Records Act procedure under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. Court and vital records have separate access processes, so an OPRA request is not a substitute for the correct form or eligibility requirement.
