Verify Government Callers with Official Tennessee Phone Directories
Got a call from someone claiming to work for a Tennessee government office? Check it at the source with TN 411 Service Directory and Tennessee State Services Directory.
TN 411 Service Directory
The TN 411 Directory finds the phone number for a Tennessee state service rather than a person. Enter a full or partial service name, optionally narrow by agency, and the results show the service and the department behind it.
It's useful when a caller mentions a program and you don't know which department runs it. Look up the service and call that department. The page also links to the state help center at help.tn.gov.
Tennessee State Services Directory
TN.gov's State Services page lists 778 Tennessee state services and programs with the department, a description, contact name and phone number, email, mailing address and website. The Search all data box covers every column, so you can type in a number that called you and see if a state program lists it.
Unemployment benefits is 615-741-4841, the statewide crisis line 855-274-7471, the Consumer and Industry Services complaint hotline 800-628-2631 and the OEP Energy Hotline 800-342-1340. Some programs only list an email or website.
Is Reverse Phone Lookup Legal in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee does not restrict the personal use of reverse phone lookup services. The state's TIPA took effect July 1, 2025, giving residents rights to opt out of and delete their data from lookup databases. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) prohibits using lookup results for employment, tenant, or credit decisions in every state. Tennessee's TIPA layers state rights on top of these federal protections.
Your Privacy Rights as a Tennessee Resident
The Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA, Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., enacted SB 73/HB 1181, May 11, 2023) took effect July 1, 2025. Tennessee's law is considered more business-friendly than California or Maryland: nonprofits are generally exempt, and small businesses meeting certain thresholds receive partial exemptions. Covered residents can opt out of personal data sales and targeted advertising, and have rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data within a 45-day window.
Tennessee Do Not Call Program
Tennessee's Do Not Call/Text program, enforced by the Public Utility Commission, covers both calls and text messages — one registration protects you from both. Violators face penalties up to $2,000 per incident. Registration is free and permanent, and complaints can be filed directly with the Commission online.
