The Office of Open Records has updated the Standard Right-to-Know Law Request Form.

(Under Section 505 of the Right-to-Know Law, all Commonwealth and local agencies are required to accept the OOR’s Standard RTKL Request Form.)

The new Standard RTKL Request Form includes a series of relatively minor changes, the most notable of which is that if the requester does not make a choice regarding the format of copies being sought, there is now a default (printed copies). Previously, there was no default; that led to confusion in a few cases.

All previous Standard RTKL Request Forms remain valid to use, but it’s always best to use the most current version when submitting a RTKL request.

The Standard RTKL Request Form is available in two formats: PDF and Word.
