Public Records Request

Public Records Request

The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure provides public access to its records in accordance with the Mississippi Public Records Act. Most records the Board creates and keeps in the course of its work are available to the public.

Use the form below to request records, and the Board’s public records officer will follow up with you.

What You Can Request

You can request most records held by the Board. Some are exempt by law and cannot be released, including licensure applications, the Board’s open investigative files, and personnel records. When only part of a record is exempt, the Board releases the rest with the exempt portions redacted.

Response Time and Fees

The Board responds in accordance with the Mississippi Public Records Act. Costs are based on the actual cost of producing the records and are paid in advance:

  • Black-and-white copies: 15 cents per page
  • Color copies: 25 cents per page
  • Records on CD-ROM: $10
  • Mailing: actual postage and container cost
  • Search, review, and redaction time, at the rate of the lowest-paid staff member qualified to do the work

For the Board’s full public records procedures, see the Administrative Code, Part 2650, Chapter 2: Public Records.

I understand a fee may be charged to cover the direct cost of search, review and reproduction. I understand standard black and white photocopies are 15 cents per page. I understand that before the Board begins to make the copies, all reasonably estimated costs of copying all the records selected must be pre-paid. I understand the cost of electronic copies of records shall be 10 dollars for information on a CD-ROM. I understand the Board may also charge actual costs of mailing, including the cost of the shipping container. I understand the actual cost of searching for and reviewing and, if necessary, redacting exempt information from public records shall be based upon the hourly rate of compensation for the lowest paid agency employee qualified to perform the task. I understand the Board requires payment in advance for all costs before providing copies or access to records. Should the request require extensive research or copies, the requestor agrees to allow additional time for processing the requested documentation.
