Obtaining Iowa Public Records means you have to head to the state's Office of the Attorney General and submit a request there. Citizens are granted access to the documents because they are part of the public domain, as stated in the Freedom of Information Act. However, not everything that is written on a public document is available for public access. Some are deemed confidential and are kept away from the public in order to maintain the right to privacy of other people. A person can only have full access to a document if he or she owns the document, is the lawyer of the owner, or has the consent from the people who has authority over the documents.

When searching for the documents, make sure that you have the proper request form. Head to the office of the Attorney General and ask which form you are supposed to be filling out or you can download it from their official website. Complete the form with the required details and send it back to the office with a valid ID and a list of your contact information. There are fees that you need to pay for the documents, payable by money order or a certified check. Fees are not subject for a refund regardless of the search results. If you are aware of the exact county and office has the documents you want to request for, you can also conduct your search there.

It takes around two to three weeks to for every search process. If that is too long for you, you can indicate that you want a rush service, but that means you have to pay extra. Be vigilant in checking the information you are providing when making a search. Make sure that they are accurate because that will increase the chances of locating the right file. Include a year, if you know it, to further trim down the search category.

Public files are often used for running background checks on other people. Employers refer to them so they can hire competitive and law-abiding employees. Landlords use them so they can carefully pick who they accept as tenants. Some, like those who are about to be married, refer to the files to get an idea what kind of people they are associated with.

Public files can also be acquired from online search tools. You can find them all over the Web, but, unfortunately, there are those who claim that they are the real deal when they are actually not. Bear in mind that not everything that are posted on the Web are true. Before you pick a search tool to conduct your search on, conduct a history check on them. You can get an idea on whether they are a reliable source or not by checking out user reviews.

There are two types of search tools you can find online where you can do a Records Search: those that require fees for their service and those that offer it for free. The former is capable of compiling an in-depth version of public files. And if you get lucky, it may sometimes include the confidential parts of the files. The latter can do enough research to get you the basic details of the files.
