• Your Photo ID/Driver’s License (or a clear picture of your ID that can be uploaded)
• Mobile phone/tablet
• Name(s) of provider(s), types of records needed, location, and dates of service for the records to be released

• If you are requesting medical records about another patient other than your own child, please have the authorizing documents available such as power of attorney, guardianship papers, executor’s documents, death certificate of the patient, or birth certificate of the patient, or other documentation that shows appointment as legal representative.  
• Optional: Adobe Reader (to download a copy of your request)
