6.  The Request Procedures & Fees  back to contents

i. Form of request

The requester must use the prescribed form to make the request for access to a record.  This must be made to the head of the entity.  This request must be made to the address, fax number or electronic mail address of the body concerned. (Section 53(1)).

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)).


ii. Fees

A requester who seeks access to a record containing personal information about that requester is not required to pay the request fee.  Every other requester, who is not a personal requester, must pay the required request fee.

The head of the entity must notify the requester (other than a personal requester) by notice, requiring the requester to pay the prescribed fee (if any) before further processing the request (Section 54(1)).

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)).

The SAHRC’s website (www.sahrc.org.za) or the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (www.doj.gov.za) (under “regulations”) contain the forms to furnish a request and the fee structure.
