The right of Access to administrative documents allows to examine and/or extract copy of administrative documents and can be exercised by anyone, including the bearer of public or diffuse interests, who has a direct, concrete and actual interest, related to a legally protected situation and connected to the document concerned by the request for access.
If it does not appear that there are other parties, thus subjects identified or easily identifiable on the basis of the nature of the requested document, who would see their right to confidentiality compromised by the exercise of the right of access, informal Access may be exercised. This form of access, which can also be presented in verbal form, is permitted when no doubts arise as to the legitimacy of the applicant, his/her identity, his/her representative powers, the existence of the interest or the accessibility of the document. In this case, immediate granting of the request is possible.
For all other cases, or where the applicant so desires, it is possible to submit a request for Formal Access, together with a copy of a valid identity document, specifying what is their direct, concrete and actual interest in accessing, using the appropriate form to be transmitted in the following ways:
The Formal Access procedure is concluded within 30 days from the submission of the request. If there are other parties, the Administration is required to notify them of the Accessing request. The other parties, within 10 days, may present reasoned opposition; after this period has elapsed to no avail, the Administration shall provide on the request.
