Oregon Public Records Law [ORS 192.410 to 192.505] states that any individual denied the right to view or copy any Oregon public record from a state agency may file a petition with the Attorney General whose office will in turn review the record and make a determination as to whether or not it should be withheld from public inspection. The AG's office will then issue an order in response to the petition.

State law dictates that access to specific criminal history information is a matter of public record in Oregon. A limited amount of access to another individual's criminal record is available based on a name and date of birth search.?

All requests for Oregon public records currently in the custody of the Department of Justice are required to be submitted in writing to the Records Custodian, and are subject to any copying or duplicating fees as allowed by law.

It is perfectly within a person's right to make a Oregon public records search, and if a document or piece of data is ever denied, then it is also within that person's right to contact the State Department of Justice through a petition to the Attorney General in order to have the issue inspected. The state takes the availability of this information very seriously and attempts to make it as accessible as is appropriate.
