Frequently asked questions

How much does a typical record request cost?

Our Fair Pricing model presents a $65 fixed flat fee for handling all aspects of a typical record request. We also offer a wide range of time- and cost-saving document management services. You can see the full details on our pricing page.

Yes, we will work the case until you get what you need. We do a quality check to make sure the records are for the correct person, legible, within the correct time frame, and the type of records requested. Sometimes providers or copy services send incomplete records, and it’s impossible for us to identify if they left something out. In this situation, once you inform us, we go back to the provider to get what’s missing — at no additional fee to you.

If a record is unavailable, a “No Records Found” certificate will be issued automatically.

Our statistical average turnaround time is 15 days.
