This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. South Pasadena Residents Directory is a private reference. It cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or remove a name from a roll. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Looking for a Specific Record?
The quickest route depends on the record being sought:
- Street or parcel trail: use the South Pasadena street directory and the Los Angeles County Assessor Portal.
- Old volumes and past households: use the South Pasadena city directory collections at the Library.
- One-person verification: use the South Pasadena resident lookup record map.
- City-created records: start with South Pasadena City Records Program and its Laserfiche/WebLink access, or make a narrow California Public Records Act request.
- County records: use the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer and Tax Collector, or Superior Court office named by the record type.
