Statewide People Search Tools
Henrico County residents can use the statewide tools to round out a people search. The Virginia Judiciary Online Case Information System lets you search court cases in circuit courts and general district courts across the Commonwealth. The tool runs free and pulls real-time data from the Supreme Court Case Management System.
For business ownership info, the Virginia State Corporation Commission Clerk's Information System shows registered agents, officers, and entity data. It helps when the person you're looking up runs a business in Virginia. The Virginia Department of Health Professions license lookup confirms whether a person holds a professional license issued by any of the state boards.
Vital records go through the Virginia Department of Health Office of Vital Records. Under Chapter 7 of Title 32.1, birth records are closed for 100 years. Death records close for 25 years. Marriage and divorce records become public 25 years after the event. Close family members can get copies sooner.
For FOIA guidance across any Virginia public body, the Virginia FOIA Advisory Council helps at no cost. Staff attorneys answer public questions about what records can be released and what can be withheld. This is a strong fallback when a local FOIA request gets denied.
