How to Make a Freedom of Access Act Request  There is no central
government records office that services Freedom of Access Act
requests.  Each public body or agency responds individually to
requests for its own records.  To submit a request, you should
determine which public body or agency is likely to maintain the
records you are seeking and submit a request to the individual
designated as the Freedom of Access Act contact for that body or
agency.  Please refer to the State of Maine Freedom of Access
Act Contacts list for individual contact information.  Is there
a form that must be used to make a Freedom of Access Act
request?  No. There are no required forms.  Does my Freedom of
Access Act request have to be in writing?  No.  The Freedom of
Access Act does not require that requests for public records be

when the request was received and what records were specifically
