Open records laws give citizens the right to access government documents and data. These laws go by many names around the world: Freedom of Information (FOI/FOIA), Right to Information (RTI), Access to Information (ATI), Public Records, Right to Know, and Transparency Laws. Whatever the name, the principle is the same: the public has a right to see what its government is doing.

Each law varies in response timelines, fees, exemptions, and appeal processes. Click any jurisdiction to see detailed filing guides. We include RTI Scores (Right to Information Rating, 0–150 points max) from rti-rating.org, which measure the strength of a jurisdiction's legal framework across 7 categories: access rights, scope, procedures, exceptions, appeals, sanctions, and promotional measures.
