Open Records

What are Open Record Request?

Open Record Requests are for information that is available to the general public to comport with the state’s public policy of open government.
Examples of good open records requests would be:
- for copies of contracts between DDS and vendors
- annual reports (most are already accessible via the DDS Reports section of the website)
- a copy of the agency budget for a particular fiscal year
- agency emails/correspondence related to a particular issue
Requests for anything that would require an individual’s driving record to be accessed would not fall under Open Records. Georgia’s Open Records Act can be found at OCGA 50-18-70 et seq.
For customer protection and privacy, Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs), and the information contained therein, are not subject to release under the Open Records Act. See O.C.G.A. § 40-5-2 (b).
