Iowa Copy or Information Request is a state-specific document used to obtain copies of public records or documents from state and local government agencies, such as a marriage certificate or a court judgment. It is an official request letter, typically written on behalf of a party to the records in question, that requires the government agency to provide a certified or notarized copy of the document. There are two main types of Iowa Copy or Information Requests: a Standard Request for Information and a Certified Copy Request. A Standard Request for Information is used to obtain copies of documents that are not certified or notarized, such as birth certificates and police reports. A Certified Copy Request is used to obtain certified or notarized copies of documents, such as marriage certificates, court judgments, and death certificates.
