PublicRecords.com is operated by Intelius, LLC
This domain is named on Intelius, LLC's California data-broker filing, and the site says so itself in its footer. It runs no removal process of its own - every privacy link on the page points at Intelius, so that is where a request has to be made.
Broker profile
PublicRecords.com
- Directory, not an index
A National Public Records Directory operated by Intelius, LLC - thousands of links to state, county and city record offices, sorted into vital records, property, courts, licensing and government categories. It publishes no personal records of its own; the search box funnels to Intelius. Worth knowing that its own gate copy claims the site "contains REAL public records data", which describes the paid Intelius report rather than the directory you're actually on.

Background
Background
PublicRecords.com is a resource directory wearing a records-site coat. What it holds is links - to assessors, clerks, registrars, courts, licensing boards and inmate lookups, organized by record type and by state. Its own editorial note says it "aims to offer up-to-date information on public records resources aggregated from trustworthy sources of public information", and the last update stamped on that note is March 13, 2024.
The tension worth flagging sits between two pieces of the same page. The directory itself points at government sources. The interstitial you have to click through claims the site "contains REAL public records data including criminal records, background reports, photos, court documents, address information, phone numbers, civil judgments, properties owned, social media profiles, and much more" - which is a description of an Intelius report, not of a link directory.
The site is also clear that it isn't official. Its own notice says PublicRecords.com "is a privately owned website and is not a direct source of government records or services and not affiliated with any government agency."
Government affiliation, stated and denied. The domain reads official and the interstitial talks like a records database, but the site's own notice says it isn't affiliated with any government agency and isn't a direct source of government records. If you reached it looking for an official record, the links it lists go to the actual offices - you don't need the paid upgrade to use them.
