Discouraging Identity Theft
The documents available on our website are limited to those that have been reviewed for the presence of sensitive personal identifiers such as social security numbers. If a sensitive personal identifier is located, that information is redacted or blackened out from view. This step has been taken to reduce the chance of persons using these internet records to commit identity theft.
A thorough review of these records was made, but it not a perfect process. If you discover an inappropriate identifier such as a social security number on an internet record, please contact our office by email or phone so that we can make a correction.
