This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Manhattan Beach Residents Directory is privately operated. It cannot retrieve or certify a copy, confirm an occupant, or change an official roll. Send those requests to the agency that keeps the record. Call 911 for an emergency; contact local police if you are facing stalking or harassment.
Need a Particular Record?
Match the question to the custodian before sending a request in Manhattan Beach:
- A street or parcel question: begin with the Manhattan Beach street directory and the Assessor/GIS chain.
- Older volumes and past households: use the Manhattan Beach city directory collections and library references.
- One person to verify: follow the Manhattan Beach resident lookup workflow.
- Custodian orientation: start with the Manhattan Beach resident records offices.
- An existing city record that is not online: make a narrow request under the California Public Records Act to the department that holds it.
