Hartford White Pages Lookup

Hartford white pages cover the capital city of Connecticut and give you a way to search for people, phone numbers, and public records. About 122,000 people live in Hartford, and the city keeps thorough records through the Town and City Clerk's Office at City Hall. As the state capital, Hartford also sits close to major state agencies that handle records for all of Connecticut. That makes it easier to find information here than in most places. You can use the Hartford white pages search tool below to start looking for someone, or read on to learn which offices and databases can help you track down the records you need.

Hartford Town and City Clerk

The Hartford Town and City Clerk's Office is your main stop for white pages and public records in the capital. It is on the 1st floor of Hartford City Hall at 550 Main St., Room 103. The phone number is (860) 757-9750. You can also reach the office through Hartford 311 at (860) 757-9311 or by email at LUSAE001@hartford.gov. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:15am to 4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am to 3:00pm. The Friday hours are shorter, so plan around that if you need to visit in person.

The Town and City Clerk's Office is responsible for preparing Court of Common Council agendas, publication of the Journal of Official Minutes. It handles maintaining all land, voting, elections/primaries and military records, along with property ownership, voter registration cards, and landlord certificate of registration. The office also takes care of issuance of various licenses, such as dog, hunting, fishing, and others, plus it certifies notary publics and runs the Absentee Ballot Program. For a Hartford white pages search, this office is the single most useful starting point.

The Hartford Town and City Clerk website lists every service and has details on how to get what you need.

This page from the Hartford government site shows the full range of records and services run by the clerk's office. It includes links to vital records, land records, and license applications.

Hartford Vital Records Search

Vital records are central to any Hartford white pages search. The clerk's office issues birth, death, and marriage certificates. Birth certificates cost $15 for a wallet size and $20 for full size. Cash or money order only. No personal checks. If you want to pay by credit card, you can use VitalChek online instead. To get a birth certificate from Hartford, you need to provide the full name at birth, date of birth, both parents' full names including the mother's maiden name, parents' place of birth, and a valid driver's license or two alternate IDs.

Under Section 7-51 of Connecticut General Statutes, the town clerk serves as the registrar of vital statistics. Hartford's office keeps the originals for all births, marriages, and deaths that happen in the city. The state Department of Public Health at 410 Capitol Avenue in Hartford also has copies. Since both offices are in Hartford, you have more options than people in other towns.

Note: Hartford accepts cash and money orders at the clerk window, but credit cards are only taken through VitalChek for vital records orders.

Hartford Land Records

Land records tell you who owns what in Hartford. The Town and City Clerk maintains all deeds, mortgages, liens, and other property documents. Under Section 7-34a, these records must be indexed by grantor and grantee. You can search Hartford land records online through the SearchIQS portal. Guest search is free, but a subscription plan gives you full access to images and detailed records. This is a strong tool if you are trying to find someone through property ties in Hartford.

The Hartford land records search shown above lets you look up property documents by name, date, or document type. Guest access is available at no cost.

If you prefer to search in person, the clerk's office has the indexes on site. Copies cost the standard rate. Inspecting records at the Hartford office is always free under Section 1-210 of the Freedom of Information Act. You can show up during business hours and look through what you need at no charge.

State Databases in Hartford

Hartford is the state capital, so many of the agencies that run Connecticut's public records databases are right here. The Judicial Branch civil case search covers all courts serving Hartford. Type in a name to find civil suits, family cases, housing disputes, and small claims. The criminal convictions search is separate but just as easy to use. Both are free and require no account.

The Freedom of Information Commission is also based in Hartford at 18 Trinity Street. The Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, enacted in 1975, guarantees the public access to records and meetings. Anyone may request public records and a purpose does not need to be stated. There are no restrictions on the use of the records, and the response time for Connecticut is four business days. For Hartford white pages searches, this law backs up your right to get the information you are looking for.

The Hartford city website is another resource worth checking for contact information and department details.

Hartford's official city site links to all departments, services, and public records tools run by the capital.

Hartford Business and License Lookups

A Hartford white pages search can go deeper when you check business and license records. The Secretary of State's business search finds any company, LLC, or trade name filed in Connecticut. Search by name or owner to find Hartford businesses and the people behind them. Trade names are also filed with the Hartford Town Clerk, so you can check both sources.

Professional licenses are in the eLicense portal. It covers more than 800 types. Doctors, real estate agents, contractors, and many other professionals can be found here. The data is real time and counts as a primary source of verification. Search by name or Hartford address to narrow results to the capital city.

• Business entity search by name or filing number
• Trade name lookup at the state or local level
• Professional license verification by name or license number
• UCC lien searches through the Secretary of State
• Voter registration lookup for Hartford residents

Getting Hartford Records

Requesting records from Hartford is simple. Write down what you need and send it to the Town and City Clerk at 550 Main St., Room 103. You can email LUSAE001@hartford.gov, call (860) 757-9750, or go in person. Under the Freedom of Information Act, the city has four business days to respond. If they don't answer, that counts as a denial and you can appeal. The FOIC must hold a hearing within 30 days and decide within 60 days.

Under Section 1-212, Hartford can charge up to 50 cents per page for copies. No one can charge you to inspect records in person. If you need a lot of pages, it might be cheaper to go look at them yourself and only copy the ones that matter most. The Hartford 311 line at (860) 757-9311 can also point you in the right direction if you aren't sure which department has what you need.

Note: Personnel files and active law enforcement records are among the exemptions under Section 1-210(b), so not every record in Hartford is open to the public.
