In Missouri, employment information is generally NOT a public record. Missouri Sunshine Law (Chapter 610 RSMo) does not require private employers to disclose where someone works. Public-sector employment (state, county, city, school district) is public; check the agency's HR or open data portal (e.g., Missouri Accountability Portal at https://mapyourtax.mo.gov/MAP/). For private employment, options are limited: court records may show employer info if entered as evidence; LinkedIn and similar professional networks; the Missouri Secretary of State business filings at https://bsd.sos.mo.gov/ for officers/directors of registered companies. The Missouri Department of Labor handles workers' comp and unemployment claims, but those records are confidential.

To confirm whether someone is married in Missouri, contact the Recorder of Deeds in the county where the marriage license was issued. The Missouri Recorders' Association directory is at https://moara.net/. Statewide marriage verifications (1948–present) come from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Bureau of Vital Records at https://health.mo.gov/data/vitalrecords/ for $15. Marriage licenses are public records under Missouri Sunshine Law (Chapter 610 RSMo); certified copies cost about $9 at the recorder.

To look up warrants in Missouri, contact the local sheriff or police where the warrant was issued. The Missouri Highway Patrol holds the statewide MULES warrant database, restricted to law enforcement; individuals must check by phone with the issuing court or local agency. Many county sheriffs post most-wanted lists (e.g., St. Louis County at https://www.stlouisco.com/, Jackson County (KC) at https://www.jacksongov.org/, Greene County (Springfield) at https://greenecountymo.gov/). Court bench warrants appear in Missouri Case.net at https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet/ attached to open cases. Missouri Sunshine Law (Chapter 610 RSMo) governs disclosure; agencies may withhold info that could compromise an investigation.
