Source Verification

How we verify sources.

Every public county guide traces back to an official agency source and passes a repeatable verification workflow before publication.

01

Identify authority

Confirm the sheriff, court, clerk, jail, county, or other official public agency.

02

Document scope

Record what the source covers, excludes, requires, and how users can search it.

03

Check availability

Verify the destination, redirects, and the date the source was last reviewed.

04

Review before publication

The source and county guide must pass our quality review before the page is published.

Freshness

Verification does not end at publication.

Source availability and material content changes are re-checked as part of ongoing maintenance.

Last-verification visibility

County pages show when their primary source was last verified so freshness is visible to users.
