This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Wilkes-Barre Residents Directory is a private reference. It cannot retrieve or certify documents, verify who lives at an address, or alter a government roll. Send those requests to the office that maintains the record. Call 911 for an emergency. For stalking or harassment concerns, contact local police.

- The public offices behind those sources: review Wilkes-Barre records offices
