What the record promises

How this record works
  • Shown as the agency published itNames included, with the date and a link to the agency’s own record.
  • Corrections go through the agencyIf you believe a record is wrong, a correction starts with the agency, through its own correction process.
  • Public records come firstWhat a provider adds sits below the record and says who wrote it.
  • No one pays to change the recordNot a finding, not a rating, not the order of results. Every state’s record is free to read.
