New England Records Help
Legal information, not legal advice. This site summarizes public sources so you can find the right office and ask clearly. It is not legal advice, and it does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Laws, fees and office details change; always check the linked official source, and talk to a lawyer about your specific situation. Every fact below shows its source and the date it was last checked (2026-10-17).

Records request letter generator and deadline calculator

Fill in the fields and copy the text. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent, saved or stored. You send the letter yourself.

Please do not put sensitive personal details (Social Security numbers, account numbers, medical details) in a records request. Use a mailing address or email you are comfortable having in a public file; requests are generally records themselves.

Your letter

Review it. Edit anything you like. Check the linked statute for the current wording before relying on it.

Deadline calculator

The calculator skips Saturdays and Sundays only. It does not know holidays, office closures, or whether a request counts as received on a particular day.
