Not a records office. This private reference guide cannot pull, certify, correct, or remove an official record, and it cannot confirm who lives at an address. Contact the custodian that holds the record. For emergencies dial 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
Finding the Right Record
For a street or parcel trail, use the Scotch Plains street directory. Historical volumes and library collections are covered in the Directory Book. The resident lookup guide explains one-person verification, and the home page identifies the records custodians. For a record that is not online, submit a specific request under New Jersey's Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., to the office that maintains it.
