Open Records Requests

In order to assist the public in gaining access to government records and to comply with Georgia Open Records Act, Fulton County has designated an Official Custodian of Records for Fulton County and created an online Open Records Portal.

Click here to do one of the following:

  • Set up an open records account

  • Submit an open records request

  • Track the progress of your open records request

  • Receive records responsive to your request

  • Review previous open records requests

  • Review frequently asked questions about the Open Records Act

  • Communicate with Open Records Team about your request


The Georgia Open Records Act and related subtitles of Georgia law authorize a personal inspection of public records at a reasonable time and place unless prohibited by a court order or otherwise exempted by law. However, no public official or personnel is required to prepare reports, summaries or compilations not in existence at the time of an Open Records Request.

Please note: Deputy County Counsel Shalanda M.J. Miller is not the official custodian of all county records.
