Search Sacramento Phone Directory

Sacramento phone directory searches pull from a mix of city and county tools that cover the state capital and the areas around it. The city clerk runs a NextRequest portal where you can look up public records by keyword or department. Sacramento also sits in Sacramento County, which has its own court system, assessor, clerk-recorder, and sheriff databases. All of these hold names, addresses, and contact details that help with phone directory lookups. Because Sacramento is the state capital, you also get direct access to many state-level offices and search tools. This page lists every key source for finding people and phone numbers in Sacramento.

Sacramento City Clerk Records

The Sacramento City Clerk manages public records for all city departments. You can reach the office at (916) 874-6334. The clerk handles meeting minutes, ordinances, resolutions, and general records requests. If you need a phone number or contact for a city employee or a business that filed papers with the city, the clerk's office is the place to start. Sacramento city records fall under the California Public Records Act, so most documents are open to the public unless they meet a specific exemption.

The city uses the NextRequest system for all public records requests. You can file a new request or search past ones to see what other people have asked for. This saves time because the record you need may already be posted. The system tracks your request by email and gives updates as it moves through the city. Sacramento gets a lot of records requests since it is the state capital, so the NextRequest portal stays busy with a wide range of data.

The California Public Records Act covers all records requests in Sacramento at both the city and county level. The law says access to government records is a fundamental right. Phone numbers from unlisted lines get special protection under Public Utilities Code Section 2891.1, which bars phone companies from publishing them. But numbers that show up in court filings, business licenses, or other public records can still be found through a records request.

Note: The California State Archives research room in Sacramento is free to visit, but copies of documents may have small per-page fees.
