Terms of Service

Massachusetts Record Request is a private document retrieval service. The information on this website is general guidance and is not legal advice or an official custodian decision.

No request acceptance through this version

This website is not currently accepting requests or payments. Browsing a guide or choosing a record type does not create an accepted service order or authorize retrieval.

Eligibility and availability

Custodians determine access, availability, certification and release requirements. We do not guarantee that a record exists, that a requester qualifies, or that a receiving organization will accept a document.

Service cost and payment

No fixed service prices are offered on this website. The scope, government costs, service charges, shipping, authentication costs, cancellation conditions and treatment of unsuccessful requests must be disclosed and agreed before payment.

Timing and delivery

Custodian processing, additional requirements, authentication and delivery can affect timing. No deadline or shipping date is guaranteed by the information on this site.

Direct government requests

You may request records directly from the custodian where permitted. Government charges may be lower than the cost of using a private service.

Before service begins

Complete transaction terms and operator contact information will be provided before online intake is enabled.
