What information? If you are looking to verify the certification number and are a paid member then when you log on you will see a tool bar named "grading and submissions". You click on that and you will see "certifications" and you click on that and put in your number.
If you are not a paid up member then you can call NGC at their sales office and they will tell you. I believe the E mail address is sales@ngc.com but am not sure.
Anything else and you will have to ask the specific question here.

I have a 2006 NGC First Strike $1 Silver Eagle Gem Uncirculated coin and was trying to look up how many were listed in the census.
The census for 2006 First Strike only shows MS-68. thru 70.
Where would a Gem Uncirculated coin come in?
Any idea what value this coin has?
I appreciate the message, and as I said I'm new at this chat board stuff.
Thanks for any and all help.

I think everyone needs to know that the Lincoln uncirculated dollar has sold out. The prices on ebay have already started increasing.

I hope I have placed theis in an appropriate section, I'm very new to coin collecting, recently inheriting coins from a family member who had inherited his Fathers collection. None of the coins have been "slabbed", as I believe it is called. I have tried to give myself a crash course in collecting, even signing up for the NGC membership where you get 5 gradings. But now the more I read, the more concerned I get. It appears to me from my reading, that unless a coin in MS-60 or above, NGC will likely send it back not graded, but charge for the grading. It appears to me they want you to spend more money by sending to NCS to have it "cleaned" and then pay again for them to grade it. I'm fairly sure none of the collection I inherited will be Mint State coins, so have I wasted my money even signing up? If NGC sends coins back "BB" for having a scratch across it and say it is wheel marks, which I don't even know what that is, I figure my coins don't have a prayer. Do the third party graders not grade coins if they are less than mint state? I'm truly confused by this, and hope someone can give me some guidance.

No, of course not. NGC will now encapsulate nearly any coin you send them, regardless of problems (cleaned, damaged, scratched, etc) as long as they can determine that the coin is genuine.
They will only grade and certify coins that are problem-free, but they do that at any grade from Poor-1 to Mint State-70.
In addition to what Chad stated, you must keep in mind that not every coin is worth having graded. There would be no point submitting a coin whose value is $20, $30, $40, etc. when the cost of your submission would be $25-$35 including shipping and insurance. Some of the members, here, don't believe in grading anything worth less than $100 while others use a higher value.
Welcome to the neighborhood!

Thanks for helping out. I do understand that I need to have some idea what the coin is worth before sending it off. It makes perfect sense not to send a coin for grading that is worth less than the cost of grading. My concern is all the posts I read about people sending coins off for grading and getting them back not graded. One post I read inparticular the guy states he received his coin back because of what he describes as 'Wheel Marks'? If that is simply some type of scratch on the surface of the coin, why would the coin not be graded in a lower state? Why would they send it back as not graded? I do truly appreciate the help & advice.

Until only reecently, NGC would not grade a coin that had post-Mint damage (PMD). "Wheel Marks" is one such instance of PMD. Now, however, they are responding to collectors' requests that coins be "net-graded". For more information, read this from NGC:
