This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This is a private reference service. We cannot retrieve or certify records, verify a person's address, or change an official roll. Direct those requests to the office that owns the record. For emergencies, call 911. If stalking or harassment is a concern, contact local police.
Finding a Particular Record
These are the most direct St. Joseph starting points:
- Who owns or lives along a street: see the St. Joseph street directory
- Old directory volumes and past residents: see the St. Joseph city directory collections
- Finding or verifying one person: see the St. Joseph resident lookup walkthrough
- The offices behind the rolls: see St. Joseph resident records offices
- Records not available online: send a focused request under the Missouri Sunshine Law to the custodian identified for that record
Buchanan County Recorder of Deeds: 411 Jules Street, Room 103, Saint Joseph, MO 64501; 816-271-1437; Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The recorder is the proper public contact for recorded instruments and Buchanan marriage certificates. For a county record not available through a portal, describe the record type, date range, address, parcel, or case number as precisely as possible.
