1. What This Website Is

Lansing Residents Directory is a privately operated reference that describes and links to public record indexes, official portals, and historical directory collections relating to Lansing, Michigan, and Ingham County. It is not affiliated with the City of Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan, any court, library, or records custodian, and it does not host government records.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use the site and any linked information only for lawful purposes. You may not use material found here to:

  • Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm another person.
  • Find or expose a person protected by a restraining, protective, confidentiality, or court order.

3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Lansing Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing on this site or supplied by a linked tool is a consumer report. It may not be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Official county and state portals, library collections, and third-party services are independent sites. Their own terms, availability, fees, data practices, and search rules apply after you follow a link. We do not control or guarantee an external resource, including sponsored result providers.


5. No Warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that a page, coverage date, fee, office procedure, or external result is accurate, complete, current, available, or suitable for a particular purpose. Confirm material information with the custodian that holds the record.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from use of this service or an external resource, including a decision made from a record, index, or link.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the site's operators from claims, losses, demands, and reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, logo, layout, and design of this site are protected by copyright. You may link to a page or quote a brief excerpt with attribution. Republishing full pages or systematically copying site content is not permitted.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may change these terms by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use after the revision is posted means that you accept the revised terms.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, limit, or block access at our discretion when a visitor violates these terms, threatens the operation or security of the site, or uses it to abuse another person. Notice is not required.


11. Governing Law

Michigan law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record requests directed to a Michigan public body are governed by the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, Public Act 442 of 1976, MCL 15.231 et seq. Access to Michigan vital records follows MCL 333.2882, and the Address Confidentiality Program is governed by 2020 PA 301, MCL 780.851 et seq. These statutes do not make this private reference a public custodian.


12. Severability

If a court finds one provision of these terms unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect to the extent allowed by law.
