State agencies are generally required to provide access to public records upon request, with a few specific exceptions such as confidential information or personal information.

How Do I Make A Change To Public Records In North Dakota?

In North Dakota, the process for making changes to public records will depend on the type of record that needs to be amended. For certain records, such as birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates, the North Dakota Department of Health may be the agency to contact. To amend a birth or death certificate in North Dakota, individuals can submit a written request to the state’s Division of Vital Records. The request should include the individual’s name, the nature of the request, and any supporting documentation. If the amendment relates to a name change, legal documentation supporting the name change will be necessary. For marriage and divorce records, individuals can contact the clerk of court in the county where the marriage or divorce was recorded to request an amendment. The individual will need to provide documentation to support the requested change. For other types of public records, such as criminal records or property records, individuals may need to contact the agency responsible for maintaining the record. This may be a court clerk, county recorder, or other government agency. It is important to note that not all public records can be amended. In some cases, it may be possible to have a notation added to the record to reflect the requested change. Additionally, certain types of records may be sealed, making it difficult or impossible to make changes or obtain access to the record. Overall, the process for making changes to public records in North Dakota can vary depending on the type of record and agency involved. It is recommended that individuals contact the agency responsible for maintaining the record to determine the specific steps necessary to request an amendment.
