This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Sunnyvale Residents Directory is a private reference. It cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or remove a person from a roll. Direct those requests to the office that keeps the record. For an emergency, call 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.

For a city request, name the department, record type, Sunnyvale address or case number, and date range. The CPRA searches existing identifiable records; it does not require the City to create a new residents directory. For deeds, an address alone is not enough because the Recorder’s index is office-based and not indexed by street address.
