00:00:03.139 --> 00:00:07.950
Hello and welcome to the City of Albuquerque's tutorial on how to submit a public records request.

00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:14.129
The City of Albuquerque responds
and complies with requests in accordance with

00:00:14.129 --> 00:00:19.890
the Inspection of Public Records Act Guidelines.
More information on the IPRA guidelines can

00:00:19.890 --> 00:00:25.779
be found at on the State Attorney General's website.

00:00:25.779 --> 00:00:31.269
From the ABQ Records page located on the Office
of the City Clerk's website, click on the

00:00:31.269 --> 00:00:36.940
"Request a Public Record" button which will
take you to the Public Records Request home

00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:43.559
page.
Once you are at the ABQ Records home page

00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:52.140
click on the "Make Request" button to begin.
You will be taken to the Request a Public

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:58.179
Record Page and you must click on the "Make
a Request" Button." Once you're on the "REQUEST

00:00:58.179 --> 00:01:03.870
A PUBLIC RECORD" page, you can start typing
your specific request in the description box

00:01:03.870 --> 00:01:10.659
by clicking in the box. Enter a description
and include the record's title and date or

00:01:10.659 --> 00:01:19.240
date range if known. Next, press the tab button
on your keyboard.

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:23.640
If the City of Albuquerque does not maintain
the records you are seeking, you may receive

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.470
an alert with a link to where the records
may already be stored, or to an agency that

00:01:28.470 --> 00:01:34.930
may hold those records if the City of Albuquerque
does not. In the Example shown here, we have

00:01:34.930 --> 00:01:40.950
typed in a request for a Marriage License.
An alert has popped up with a link indicating

00:01:40.950 --> 00:01:45.969
that "Marriage Licenses are maintained by
the County Clerk. Please visit their website

00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:53.430
for more information."
You will also be alerted if the City does

00:01:53.430 --> 00:01:59.250
hold the records, and if they are already
available. In the example shown here, we have

00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:05.630
typed in a request for legislation. An alert
popped up indicating that "Legislation can

00:02:05.630 --> 00:02:11.230
be found on the City of Albuquerque's website,"
with an active link to the specific location

00:02:11.230 --> 00:02:19.400
the records are held.
If records are not indicated elsewhere, continue

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.950
to select the Department that maintains the
records you are seeking in the Department

00:02:23.950 --> 00:02:29.500
drop down menu. If you do not know the department
that maintains the records, you may leave

00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:35.239
it blank. If you have a request that involves
more than one department, please choose the

00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:42.709
Multiple Department option in the drop down
menu.

00:02:42.709 --> 00:02:49.360
Enter your personal information. Name, address
and telephone number are required to make

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:59.769
a public records request as mandated by the
State of New Mexico's IPRA guidelines.

00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:09.530
Click the "Make Request" button to submit
your request. You will see a message indicating

00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:18.750
that your request has been submitted successfully.
You will also receive an email indicating

00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:22.180
that your request has been submitted and a
Request ID #.

00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:32.860
The 
City of Albuquerque will work diligently to
respond to your public records request.
