Florida Government Phone Directory

Florida runs a free phone directory for all state agencies and public workers. The MyFlorida 411 system is the main search tool for this. Type in a name or pick an agency. It pulls up phone numbers, emails, and office info for state staff. Every department is in the system. The service costs nothing and is open to all. It works best when you know a name or agency you need to reach. Results show the full contact card for each match, which makes it a solid first stop for anyone who needs to call a Florida state worker.

You can also call the Florida State Information Center at 1-866-693-6748 for help. The local line is 850-488-1234. Staff work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. They can point you to the right office or give you a direct phone number for any state agency. If you are not sure where to start your search, call this line first. Just tell them what you need. They will route you to the right place.

Each county in Florida keeps its own phone directory too. Some large counties like Miami-Dade and Broward use a 311 service. Dial 311 from inside that county to get help fast with local government questions.

Florida Phone Listings and the Law

Florida has one of the strongest public records laws in the country. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes says that all state, county, and city records are open for public review. This includes staff directories, phone lists, and email addresses for government workers. Under this law, when you ask a public office in Florida for a phone number or staff list, they have to give it to you. You do not need to say who you are or give a reason for asking. The law is clear on that point. Email addresses held by any public agency in Florida are also public records. If you send email to a government office, your address may be shared if someone asks for it through a records request. Keep that in mind when you reach out to state or county offices by email in Florida.

The Florida Public Records Check portal gathers links to many types of official records across the state. It is a useful starting point if you need more than just a phone number. From there you can find links to criminal records at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, vital records through the Department of Health, and business filings at the Division of Corporations. All of these agencies have their own phone lines and online search tools you can use for free from anywhere in Florida.

Most offices in Florida respond to phone directory requests right away. If you call during business hours, you can get the number you need on the spot.

Note: You do not have to give your name or state a reason when you ask for public records or phone listings in Florida.

How to Find Florida Phone Listings

There are a few ways to search the Florida phone directory. Online is the fastest option. Start with MyFlorida 411 for state workers. For county contacts, go to that county's official website and look for a staff directory or department list. Most county sites have a search bar. Type in a name or title and you get results. City government sites work the same way. If you want to call instead, the state info line at 1-866-693-6748 takes all kinds of questions about Florida offices. Many counties have a 311 line for local help too. Staff can look up what you need and transfer you right away. It costs nothing.

Court office phone numbers come up often in Florida phone directory searches. The Clerk of Court in each county is the best contact for this. They handle court records, official records, and public records requests. Every county clerk has a phone line and a website. Some have online chat or email support too. You can find these on the county pages at the bottom of this guide. If you need to reach a specific judge or court division, the clerk can help with that. They know the number for every court office in their county.

To search the Florida phone directory, you will find it helpful to have:

• Full name of the person or agency
• The county or city where they work
• Department name if you have it
• A general idea of what office handles your question

Professional license phone numbers are another common search in Florida. The Florida Department of State keeps a list of all licensing boards and their contact numbers. This covers boards for doctors, lawyers, contractors, and many other trades in Florida.

Note: Florida government phone directories update on a regular basis, so check back if a number you found does not work.

Florida State Agency Contacts

Several state agencies in Florida get more phone calls than the rest. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement handles criminal record checks. Call them for questions about background searches or arrest records. The Department of Health holds birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates for all of Florida. They are the right contact for vital records. You can order copies by phone, mail, or online through their site. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation manages trade and professional licenses across the state. If you need to verify a license for a contractor or real estate agent, they have a search tool and a phone line for that. The Division of Corporations at Sunbiz.org keeps all business entity records in Florida. Search their database to find company contact info, officers, and registered agents. The Department of Financial Services handles unclaimed property. All of these are key phone directory contacts in Florida.
