The requester must provide sufficient detail on the request form to enable the head of the entity to identify the record and the requester.  The requester should also indicate which form of access is required.  The requester should also indicate if any other manner is to be used to inform the requester and state the necessary particulars to be so informed. (Section 53 (2)(a) and (b) and (c)).

If a request is made on behalf of another person, the requester must then submit proof of the capacity in which the requester is making the request to the satisfaction of the head of the entity. (Section 53(2)(f)).

The fee that the requester must pay to the entity is R50.  The requester may lodge an application to the court against the tender or payment of the request fee (Section 54(3)(b)).

After the head of the entity has made a decision on the request, the requester must be notified in the required form.

If the request is granted then a further access fee must be paid for the search, reproduction, preparation and for any time that has exceeded the prescribed hours to search and prepare the record for disclosure. (Section 54(6)).
