About

The site

Request Florida Recordsis a guide to Florida's public records law. Our job is to translate Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes into the steps a citizen, journalist, or lawyer can actually take. We publish foundational explainers, demand-driven FAQs, and ready-to-send templates.

Every article cites the statute it relies on. We do not give legal advice and we do not take cases through this site. If you need representation on a specific matter, talk to a Florida attorney.

Founder: Adam Bair

Request Florida Records was founded by Adam Bair. He started the project after watching ordinary people get stonewalled trying to obtain records the law plainly says are public. He writes the guides on this site.
