Open Records Request

Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, OCHA provides access to public records for those who request them.

When a Records Request is made, OCHA acknowledges receipt of the request and then conducts a diligent and thorough search for documents that are requested. If record(s) are identified, the record(s) will be made available along with information about any exceptions or redactions. Please note, Record Request are limited to accessing existing records; a Records Request is not a mechanism for asking questions or submitting comments.

The more specific the Records Request, the more efficient it is for OCHA to perform an expedient search for records. Broad requests, may significantly extend the time it will take OCHA to search, review, and release any records.
