Many request for a public record for their personal use. The most common reason for accessing family related files such as birth, marriage, divorce and death records is to conduct a research on the family history. Criminal related documents are used to conduct a background check on certain individuals.
Personal information of the person involved is the common information that can be found on the file. Such information is the name, birth date and the age. There are additional details that can be found that is specific only to the type of document that you are trying to obtain.
