This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. San Mateo Residents Directory is a private reference site. We cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who lives at an address, or remove anyone from a roll or database. Send those requests to the office that keeps the record. For emergencies, dial 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
