FloridaSeparate routes cover ACP participants and statutorily designated high-risk professionals. ACP conditions appear in sections 97.0585(3) and 741.401-741.465. Occupational requests use the Department of State's exemption form and require a written request to each relevant agency.
Source
You submit a written request to each agency that may have your information such as your address, photo, and date of birth. However, you must fall within one of the statutorily designated classes of high-risk professionals. Please refer to the Department of State's Public Records Exemption Request form and follow instructions to submit the completed form to the Florida Department of State.

How is the research separated?

Shield laws, survivor programs, consumer privacy rights and voter confidentiality cover different records. One does not establish the scope of another.

Use each official source and the responsible office. This tool does not decide individual eligibility.

Recheck after a move, job change or law change. The quarterly calendar download is a planning reminder.
