Official Alabama Government Phone Directories
If a caller claims to be from a government office in Alabama, or you need an official number, these government directories let you check it at the source.
Alabama State Agency Directory (Inform Alabama)
Inform Alabama's Agency Directory is a searchable table of well over 100 Alabama state agencies, boards and commissions. Type part of a name, nickname or acronym in the search box (ALDOT, ADPH, ALEA) to filter the list, or sort by any column.
Each agency name links to a detail page with more information about that agency. The list includes licensing boards such as the Board of Nursing, the Real Estate Commission and the Home Builders Licensure Board, which are often the hardest offices to find a number for. If an agency is missing or its details are wrong, the page links to a request form.
Alabama County Official Phone Lookup
The Alabama Secretary of State's County Official Lookup gives mailing addresses and phone numbers for four local offices in each of Alabama's 67 counties: the Board of Registrars, Judge of Probate, Circuit Clerk and Absentee Election Manager. Search by city if you're not sure which county you're in, search by county, or pull a statewide list for one office type.
Use it for local matters the state agency directory doesn't cover, such as voter registration, probate records, court filings and absentee ballots. The Secretary of State's own office is at (334) 242-7200.
Is Reverse Phone Lookup Legal in Alabama?
Yes. Alabama has no state-level consumer privacy law, so residents looking up phone numbers operate entirely under federal rules. A privacy bill (SB 190) was introduced in the 2025 legislative session but failed to pass. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is the controlling federal law here. It bars anyone from using lookup results to screen job applicants, evaluate tenants, or make credit and insurance decisions - and those restrictions apply equally in Alabama as in every other state.
FAQs About Phone Number Search in Alabama
How do I remove my number from phone directories in Alabama?
Alabama doesn't have a privacy law, but you can still ask to be removed from phone directory sites. Go to each site's privacy page and fill out their opt-out or removal form.
How to verify a Alabama phone number belongs to a real business?
Phone numbers can be spoofed to appear as though they belong to legitimate companies. Although Alabama has over 105,071 business establishments reported by the U.S. Census, you should verify the business name by searching the Alabama Business Entity Search.
Are most Alabama phone numbers mobile or landline?
Mobile numbers account for about 5.5 million subscriptions in Alabama. VoIP lines make up 737,000, and traditional landlines have dropped to 212,000. The landline collapse mirrors the pattern across most Southern states.
