You are not legally required to provide this information, but we may not be able to process your request without it.

° If requesting private data about you or your minor child(ren), you may also need to submit a copy of a valid state ID, driver's license, military ID or passport.

° There is a charge for copies. You may be required to pay for copies before the records are released.

° If you seek to inspect records without charge, arrangements will be made to permit records inspection during normal business hours.
