Answers
How do I find an address, phone number or zip code?
If you know the person’s name but not the street address or the state, you can try searching the online telephone directories. Of course, if your person has a relatively common name, you will get a lot of results. Business names may also be located in this manner.
If you know the person’s address but not the phone number, you can try searching a reverse directory.
If you know the complete address but need to find the post code you can search the USPS zip code listings.
If you need to know or identify the two-letter abbreviation for any state you can search the USPS official abbreviations list.
If you know the phone number but not the name or address, you can try searching a reverse directory.
How do I obtain a birth, death, or marriage certificate from the United States?
Each state has its own department of vital records which is similar to the registry of births, deaths and marriages in each state in Australia. You must know the state where the birth, death or marriage occurred.
