Helpful Tips:

  • The Commission begins processing requests in the order they are received and works to fulfill all requests as quickly as possible.  Broad or laborious requests can take longer to fulfill and may be subject to service fees.  Specific, narrow requests – especially those that identify search terms and date ranges – help the Commission provide requestors with any responsive documents in the most timely and efficient manner. 

  • The Commission processes requests for documents of which it is the custodian.  Requests for documents within the custody of other state agencies should be directed to the appropriate agency. 

  • All records and documents in the custody of the Commission which relate to and identify a complainant, employer, employment agency, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee are confidential and shall not be disclosed by the Commission, except to the parties or in the course of a hearing or proceeding under the Florida Civil Rights Act.  If your request is for copies of documents which have been designated confidential under s. 760.11(12), Florida Statutes, the Commission requires verification that you are entitled to receive copies of the file.  If you are requesting a copy of a closed case file, you may use the below form:
