Verify Government Callers with Official Alabama Phone Directories
Alabama State Agency Directory (Inform Alabama) and Alabama County Official Phone Lookup list official numbers for Alabama government offices, so you can confirm a caller is who they say they are.
Alabama State Agency Directory (Inform Alabama)
Inform Alabama's Agency Directory covers well over 100 Alabama state agencies, boards and commissions, and it's where to look up an official phone number before you trust a caller. Search by part of a name, a nickname or an acronym like ALDOT, ADPH or ALEA. Each agency has its own detail page.
Licensing boards are on the list too, including the Board of Nursing, the Real Estate Commission and the Home Builders Licensure Board. Their numbers are usually the hardest to track down. Find the board here and contact it directly; don't return the call.
Alabama County Official Phone Lookup
The Alabama Secretary of State's County Official Lookup has mailing addresses and phone numbers for four offices in each of Alabama's 67 counties: the Board of Registrars, Judge of Probate, Circuit Clerk and Absentee Election Manager. Search by city or county, or pull one office type statewide.
These offices handle voter registration, probate records, court filings and absentee ballots. A call about a court date or your ballot should be checked against the county number here. The Secretary of State's own office is (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.

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.
