This Is Not a Government Office or Directory Service. We run a private reference site. We cannot place calls, change directory listings, verify caller identity, or issue official directory information. For any of those, you need to reach the right office or carrier directly. For emergencies, dial 911. For a mental-health or suicidal crisis, dial 988.

Iowa has no statewide 311 line, so non-emergency city business goes to your own city hall and county business goes to the county office involved. When a number is not published anywhere, the fix is an open-records request to the agency that holds it. The offices below take those questions directly, and none of them are us.
