Broker profile
StateCourts.org
- InfoPay brand
It's headed "United States StateCourts" under an official-looking seal, but it's a commercial site run by InfoPay, Inc. of Boston. A first name, last name and state returns arrest records, felonies, warrants, sex offences, jail records and federal dockets, with a separate inmate search alongside. Its own gate disclaims consumer-reporting-agency status and admits it cannot confirm the information is accurate. One of thirteen domains on InfoPay's California filing.

Background
Background
The name and the styling say government. The homepage is headed "United States StateCourts" under a circular blue seal, over a photograph of a neoclassical courthouse portico. It is not a government site. It's a commercial product operated by InfoPay, Inc., a private company in Boston, and nothing above the fold says so.

What sits under that presentation is a criminal-records search that takes a first name, a last name and a state - nothing more. The homepage advertises arrest records, felonies, misdemeanours, DUIs and DWIs, warrants, jail records, sex offences, judgments, liens, bankruptcies and federal dockets, plus a separate Inmate Search in the top navigation.
The consent gate is the most candid thing on the site. It states that StateCourts.org "is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act" and that clicking through means agreeing not to use the data for credit, insurance, employment or tenant screening. It also says that licence-plate and VIN searches are only available for a purpose authorised by the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994 - which is a tell, because a pure court-records site has no reason to mention the DPPA. That clause reflects the shared InfoPay backend, which also powers the vehicle product GoodCar.
The same gate carries an admission worth taking seriously. The site "contains information collected from public and private resources" and StateCourts.org cannot confirm that the information provided is accurate. Aggregated criminal-records data gets attached to the wrong person routinely, especially across common names, and here the operator says so itself.
statecourts.org is one of thirteen domains on InfoPay, Inc.'s California data-broker filing, alongside InfoTracer, CourtRecords.us, StateRecords, CourtCaseFinder and RecordsFinder.
This is not a court website. "United States StateCourts", a circular seal and a courthouse photograph are branding choices by a private data broker. No court, clerk or government agency operates it, and a record appearing here carries none of the authority its presentation implies - the site says itself that it can't confirm its information is accurate. If you need a real court record, go to the court's own clerk of records.
One company, thirteen domains, and no shared suppression that anyone has confirmed. InfoPay files InfoTracer, RecordsFinder, StateRecords, CourtRecords.us, CourtCaseFinder and this site on one registration, and each serves its own opt-out page. Treat every brand that lists you as a separate removal until the operator says otherwise.

Sister brands
InfoPay, Inc. files thirteen domains on a single California data-broker registration. This directory now covers nine of them, and the family splits into distinct products rather than clones - court records, people search, property, vehicles, business entities and identity monitoring all run off the same operator.
One company, thirteen domains, and no shared suppression that anyone has confirmed. InfoPay files InfoTracer, RecordsFinder, StateRecords, CourtRecords.us, CourtCaseFinder and this site on one registration, and each serves its own opt-out page. Treat every brand that lists you as a separate removal until the operator says otherwise.
There's a separate path for judges and law enforcement. Every opt-out page in this family carries a Covered Person Removal Request section citing the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act, for current, former and retired judges, prosecutors and law-enforcement staff plus immediate family in the same household. If that's you, use that path rather than the ordinary form - it's a different legal basis and a stronger one.
FAQ
Q & A
Is StateCourts.org a data broker?
Yes. statecourts.org is named on InfoPay, Inc.'s thirteen-domain California data-broker registration. It aggregates court and inmate records and sells access to them, while disclaiming consumer-reporting-agency status on its own entry gate.
Who runs StateCourts.org?
InfoPay, Inc. of 227 Lewis Wharf, Boston, Massachusetts. The site itself publishes no operator name in its copy - the attribution comes from InfoPay's California filing, which lists statecourts.org among thirteen domains and StateCourts among its DBAs.
It says the records might not be accurate. What do I do about a wrong record?
The site's own gate states it "cannot confirm that information provided" is accurate, which is an unusually direct admission. If a record attached to your name isn't yours, submit the opt-out to suppress the listing, and keep a dated screenshot of the wrong entry first. If it's a sealed or expunged matter surfacing anyway, the screenshot is the evidence you'd need to escalate.
Does removing myself here clear the other InfoPay court sites?
Don't assume it does. CourtRecords.us, StateRecords and CourtCaseFinder are separate domains on the same filing, each with its own opt-out page. The removal endpoints share a template but nothing InfoPay publishes says a suppression on one reaches the others.
