Open Public Records

The City of Oakland public records request portal is designed to make information accessible to the public.  This web portal is designed to assist you in communicating with your government about what documents you need. All previous requests and responsive documents are available via this portal.  

The NextRequest platform is intended to facilitate public access to public records. Official records are held by City departments pursuant to governing document retention schedules. Please use the search function to the right to query the 27,000, and counting, requests the City has previously responded to. You may likely find what you're looking for without having to submit a new request!!!
