What this form is
Use the request form to identify the records you want, provide contact details, choose how to receive them, and state whether the request is commercial. If you request records for a commercial purpose, the packet also includes a certification explaining that purpose and a verification signed before a notary. The city’s policy describes submission methods, response timing, copy charges, and possible staff-time costs.
Who needs it
Anyone requesting Edmonton public records may use the request form; requestors seeking records for a commercial purpose must also complete the certification.
Why it needs a notary
