Document Request
Admin
Let staff or clients request a copy of a letter, record, or form with format and a needed-by date.
A records email that says “send my file” without a year is a search party. This template asks which kind of document, how to send it, and a lookup hint so the clerk is not opening the wrong drawer.
Who it is for
HR, schools, and small records desks that still fulfill copies by hand.
When to use it
Use it when a human still finds the file. Data Deletion Request is a privacy right. Name Change Request updates a record. Mailing Address Update is where mail goes.
What this form collects
Requester identity, document kind, delivery format, optional date, optional lookup hint, and why they need it.
- Employment verification letter
- School records window
- Policy excerpt for an auditor

Frequently asked questions
Does submitting this release the file?
No. Someone still checks identity and policy. The success copy should say that.
Should I verify identity on this form?
Collect enough to look the person up. A second factor belongs in the process you already run — this is not an ID-proofing product.
Can legal holds use this?
Better a dedicated counsel inbox. Use this for routine copies. Point legal at a different address in the intro if you have one.
