Newcastle Open Records Requests

Some records are exempt. Active investigations, sealed court files, and personal data like social security numbers stay private. But most of what the city and county hold is available. If part of a record has exempt info, the office must give you the rest with the exempt parts blacked out. They can not refuse the whole file just because one piece is protected.
Fees vary by office. The city charges per page for copies. The county has its own fee schedule. Certified copies cost more than plain copies. If your request needs a lot of staff time, you may need to prepay before they start on it.
