Welcome to Northwest Public Records
Established 2010

Laws assuring open public records were enacted nationwide in the 1970s.  Oregon pioneered ‘sunshine’ legislation in 1973 under the stewardship of Gov.  Tom McCall.  Northwest Public Records is here to ensure our government remains open to its citizens. 

Northwest Public Records works to maintain government responsibility and accountability as mandated by law.  Our team of lawyers and public records experts verify that elected officials and government employees are not mistakenly withholding public information or conducting public business in secret. 

Public Records + Government Responsibility = Business Growth.  The various levels of government and administrative agencies maintain massive troves of information that is essential for private business to thrive.  Your business has a right to this information.
