Making an FOI Request

If the information you seek is not found in the Ministry's publication scheme then submit an FOI request.

Your FOI request must comply with these four requirements:

1. It must be sent in writing, or transmitted by electronic means other than telephone.
2. It must contain enough information to enable the Ministry to identify the records you've requested.
3. It must include a name, in order to process your request (but this does not have to be your real name, as FOI requests can be submitted anonymously).
4. It must include a means of contacting you so we can send responses, requests for clarification, or communicate with you as needed.
