Redaction is the electronic process of removing the Social Security Number from a document. This office undertook a major redaction project in April, 2008, before our images were made available online to ensure the protection of our citizens’ identities.
Pursuant to Code of Virginia § 17.1-227, this office will not knowingly accept or record any documents that include the Social Security Number of any party.
