This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Charlottesville Residents Directory is privately operated. We cannot obtain or certify records, confirm a person's current address, or change an official roll. Direct those requests to the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. For stalking or harassment concerns, contact local law enforcement.
