We Are Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. East Lansing Residents Directory is privately operated. We cannot retrieve or certify records, verify that a person lives at an address, or change a government roll or database. Send those requests to the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. If stalking or harassment is a concern, contact local police.
Finding a Specific Record
The appropriate route depends on the East Lansing record you need:
- A parcel owner or address trail: use the East Lansing street directory and the BS&A property record
- Old volumes or past households: use the East Lansing city directory collection routes through CADL
- A one-person comparison: use the East Lansing resident lookup workflow
- The office responsible for a record: see East Lansing record offices
- A record not online: send a written request under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231–15.246, to the proper custodian
