USVI Public Records

A VI Update Project · Brian LoudenThe territory’s public record — kept public.
The law of the Virgin Islands

What was passed.
And what it says now.

Both halves of the territory's law, in one room and open. Every act of the Legislature since 1998 — the signed act as enacted. And the Virgin Islands Code, 2026 edition, as text you can read, search and cite, title by title. No subscription, no login, no paywall between a resident and the law that governs them.

Every section as published in the 2026 edition — the archive's own text edition of a public text, with its provenance on every page and a working link to each section. The statutory text of the Code is an edict of government: it belongs to the public, and this archive treats it that way. Coverage is stated per title rather than assumed — a title still being retrieved says so, and names the last section it reaches.

Using them together. The Code is the text as published; the acts are the primary source for any change to it. An act that postdates the edition, or amends a section after it was typeset, is in the acts and not yet in the Code — so where the two differ, the act governs and this archive will not guess which applies. Tracing every act through to the section it changed is exacting work that is underway and is not published until it can be relied on. How this archive works · why a private citizen keeps it
