Indiana Release and Authorization is a set of documents that allow an individual to grant permission to another person, company, or organization to access specific information or records. These documents are legally binding and must be completed in accordance with state and federal laws. The two main types of Indiana Release and Authorization are the Authorization for Release of Information and the Authorization for Release of Health Information. The Authorization for Release of Information gives permission for another person, company, or organization to access personal information, such as Social Security numbers, credit reports, and tax returns. The Authorization for Release of Health Information gives permission for the release of medical information, such as medical records, lab results, and x-rays. Both forms must be signed by the individual granting permission and may also require a witness signature. Both forms will also require a valid form of identification, such as a driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID.
