New Jersey National Archives Request for Copies are forms used to request copies of records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in New Jersey. This can include documents, photographs, and other records that are held in the archives. The request can be made online, by mail, or in person, and there are two main types of requests: research requests and certified copies. Research requests are for non-certified copies of records, such as records that will be used for research or educational purposes. Certified copies are requests for documents that will be used in official proceedings, such as a court case or a passport application. Both types of requests require the requester to provide information about the records they are seeking and fees for the copies.
