Independent resources
Know where
to look next.
Explore public information and independent organizations. You can contact an outside provider directly to ask about its scope and availability.
Before contacting a provider
Ask a few
practical questions.
- Does this organization handle my type of concern?
- Does it serve my location?
- Are there eligibility requirements or fees?
- What information does it need to consider a request?
- Can it provide information, advice, or representation?
Prepare without oversharing
A concise summary
can help you begin.
Keep your question, location, and key dates ready. Before sending documents, confirm who will receive them and how they will be handled. Using our local request tool does not transfer information to any outside provider.
