Alexandria White Pages Overview
Alexandria Circuit Court White Pages
The Alexandria Circuit Court Clerk's Office sits at 520 King Street, Room 307, Alexandria, VA 22314. The clerk is Hon. Greg Parks. The office is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays. Call (703) 746-4044 or fax (703) 746-1911. The clerk holds land records, civil and criminal case files, marriage licenses, and probate records for the city. Alexandria is part of the 18th Judicial Circuit of Virginia. The clerk's office is the first stop for most White Pages style court lookups in the city.
The Alexandria courts page is also where you can find judges, court schedules, and self help resources. View the Alexandria courts hub to see which court handles your matter.
The page lists the Circuit Court, the General District Court, and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court along with hours and phone numbers.
Statewide case data for Alexandria is also held in the Virginia Courts Online Case Information portal. You pick Alexandria Circuit Court from the dropdown, then run a name or case number search. The portal is free. It shows party names, hearings, charges, and final rulings. Court records held by clerks of courts of record in Virginia are open to the public under Virginia Code § 17.1-208. Land records older than the digital era are kept in paper form at the clerk's office and can be viewed in person.
Note: Alexandria Circuit Court is one of the few independent city courts that runs both criminal and civil dockets in a single Old Town courthouse downtown.
Alexandria Real Estate White Pages
The Alexandria Department of Real Estate Assessments sets the value of every parcel in the city. Real estate is assessed at 100% of fair market value as of January 1 each year, in line with the Code of Virginia. Assessment notices go out each year, most often in February. You can search assessments online by address or property identification number. The site also has info on the appeals process, tax relief programs, and the methods staff use to value homes. Call 703-746-4646 with questions.
Property data is one of the most useful White Pages tools in the city. A name on a deed gives you a current address, a sale price, and a parcel ID. From there you can pull the prior owners, the lot size, and any liens. Virginia Code § 58.1-3201 says all real property in the state must be assessed at fair market value. Virginia Code § 58.1-3122.2 lets the city post those records online for free public use.
Use the assessments site to look up a home or business. The portal is open all day. Visit the Real Estate Assessments page to begin a property search.
The city also runs a GIS map system that lets you click any parcel on a city map to pull the same data.
Alexandria Police Records Lookup
The Alexandria Police Department handles records requests for incident reports, accident reports, and arrest records through its Records Division. Some files may be held back under Virginia Code § 2.2-3706, which covers active criminal investigative files. The department also runs an online crime map and posts public safety stats on its website. Use the records request form to ask for a copy of a report.
The police records page is the right spot to start any criminal records lookup tied to Alexandria. View the police department site for the request form and hours.
Crash reports for accidents that took place in city limits are also held here.
Alexandria GIS and Mapping
The Alexandria GIS and Mapping portal is a free interactive map for property, zoning, and environmental data. You can search by address, parcel number, or street intersection. Map layers cover property boundaries, zoning districts, floodplains, historic districts, and aerial photos of the city. GIS data is updated on a regular cycle. No login is needed for public use of the map.
GIS is a quiet but strong White Pages tool. A street address gives you a name. A name gives you a parcel. A parcel gives you a zone, a flood risk, and a sale history. The map ties them all together. Use it for due diligence, family research, or to check on a home before you buy.
Vital Records and FOIA
Birth and death records for Alexandria are held at the Virginia Department of Health Office of Vital Records. A copy of any vital record costs $12. Birth records open to the public 100 years after the event. Death, marriage, and divorce records open 25 years after the event. Before that, only immediate family with valid ID can get a copy. The city clerk holds marriage licenses for couples who applied in Alexandria.
Public records in Alexandria are open under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, found at Virginia Code § 2.2-3700. The city must reply to a FOIA request within five working days. If staff cannot respond in five days, they can take seven more days, for 12 total. You do not need to give a reason. You just need to be a Virginia resident or a member of the media. Voter rolls for the city sit with the Virginia Department of Elections Citizen Portal.
Note: The Alexandria General Registrar runs the local elections office and can help with voter address updates and absentee ballot questions for city residents.
Statewide Sources for Alexandria Searches
Many Alexandria White Pages searches start at the state level and end at a city office. The Virginia Judicial System is the main court hub. It links to the Supreme Court of Virginia, the Court of Appeals, and all 120 Circuit Courts in the state, including Alexandria. From there you can hop to local court pages, search forms, and contact info for each clerk. The state has a case search tool called CJISWeb that serves 117 of the 120 Circuit Courts in Virginia. Alexandria is one of the courts on the system. You can visit CJISWeb directly to begin a search.
The Virginia Public Records Online guide is a state level directory of where each type of public record sits in Virginia. Use it as a starting map before you dig into Alexandria specific files. The guide notes that there is no central place to search every public record in Virginia. Each agency holds its own files. Some have online portals. Many do not. The guide covers property records, court records, vital records, and criminal history files. It also notes the Virginia State Police sex offender registry, which can be searched by name, zip code, city, or county.
Records protected by attorney client privilege, health records, and adoption papers sit outside FOIA. Medical records can only go to a legal rep with proof of authority under Virginia Code § 32.1-127.1:03(E).
