If you need government records, get help identifying the right agency, describing records by date, subject, and format, and wording a request that asks for existing records without unnecessary scope. You leave with a request letter, a checklist for sending it through the agency’s stated channel, and a timeline for tracking its response. Rules and deadlines vary by jurisdiction.

How to use it
In your first message, name the agency, the records you want, and a date range. Include the reason only if it helps identify the records; a narrow subject and useful dates usually make the request easier to process.
What you bring
- Agency name and jurisdiction
- Record topic and date range
- Any agency response or request form
- Know which government agency holds the records
A good fit for
- Requesting city emails about a disputed building permit
- Seeking county inspection reports before a public meeting
- Asking a state agency for records on a specific contract
Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I want emails about the Oak Street bridge repair from the city engineering department, dated January through March 2024. Help me phrase a narrow records request.
My county denied my request for restaurant inspection reports, saying it was too broad. I need reports for three named restaurants from 2023.
I need the state transportation agency’s contract and change orders for Route 8 resurfacing. What should my request ask for, and what dates should I include?
