Request City of Raleigh public records

Provided by: City of Raleigh (City of Raleigh)

Ask for City records through the City’s Public Records Portal. First check whether the record is already online.

Ways to do it

• City of Raleigh Public Records Portal: https://raleighnc.nextrequest.com/
• About public records requests: https://raleighnc.gov/ask-raleigh-fix-report-request/services/records-request

Steps online (phone, tablet or computer)

1. Check whether the record is already published online.
2. Read the portal’s FAQ for tips on a clear, complete request.
3. Submit your request in the portal and watch for updates there.

Good to know

• Requests are handled in the order received. Complex requests or ones needing legal review can take longer.
• Records held by Wake County (deeds, birth, death and marriage records) come from the Wake County Register of Deeds instead.
