Request Public Records at DGS

Requests for records may be oral or in writing; however, DGS encourages written requests to be submitted via the GovQA system (link below) in order to assist the department in providing accurate, complete and timely responses.

Records exempt:
Records are open to public inspection at all times during normal working hours. Every person has the right to inspect any record except those exempt from disclosure by statute or other authority. (See, e.g., Gov. Code § 7922.000 et seq.) Where portions of a record are exempt, DGS will produce the non-exempt portions.

Cost:
Copies of records not exempt from disclosure will be provided upon pre-payment of copying costs. The fee for copies is 10 cents per page.
