A citizen has a fundamental right to have access to public records. The citizen’s right to know is the rule and secrecy is the exception. Where there is no contrary statute…, the right to inspect public records must be freely allowed.Newsome, 90 N.M. at 797
What is a Request for Public Information?
Public Information held by government agencies can be accessed by the public via specific request protocols that are defined by each state. The request process will allow for citizens to learn information that is not available through other means such as background check websites and state court cases look ups.
The Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) is intended to provide the public with access to information about governmental affairs. This Compliance Guide has been prepared to inform the public, state and local government agencies, and all other public bodies subject to the IPRA about its requirements and applications. The law requires public access to virtually all public records. While there are legitimate exceptions, most records are available for public inspection.HECTOR BALDERAS Attorney General of New Mexico 2015
