A system and method is provided that allows a user to access life event information. Publicly accessible computer kiosks are provided. An individual user may make selections on the publicly accessible computer as to information or data the user is interested in viewing. The selection may be made by activating one of a number of touch screen buttons. The user may be directed to an ultimate item of information by going through a succession of screens that narrow the user's selection. When the user has identified an item of information the request is routed through a life event server to an appropriate content server. A content server may be a computer of a government entity where life event information is stored. The content server selects the requested information and returns it to the user.
