Brighton Residents Directory Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This is a private reference service and cannot retrieve records, issue certified copies, verify a current address, or change a government roll or database.

- Address and parcel questions: use the Brighton street directory to identify the relevant public record route
- Historical directory volumes or prior households: use the Brighton city directory collections
- One-person record checks: use the Brighton resident lookup path
- Office responsibilities: see the Brighton resident records offices summary
- Records that are not online: request them from the responsible custodian under the New York Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL, Public Officers Law Article 6, when that law applies
