The Pennsylvania Public Access Policy Certificate of Compliance is a document issued by the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (FOR) that confirms an agency’s compliance with the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law. It is a formal acknowledgement of an agency’s commitment to making government records available to the public. The certificate is an assurance to the public that the agency is committed to making records available in accordance with the law and is subject to review by the FOR. The certificate is available in two types: the Green Certificate and the Gold Certificate. The Green Certificate is issued to agencies that have established the necessary processes and procedures to comply with the public access policies set forth in the Right-to-Know Law. This certificate verifies that the agency has adopted a Right-to-Know Policy, has designated an Open Records Officer, and has established a process for responding to requests for public records. The Gold Certificate is issued to agencies that have gone above and beyond the requirements of the Right-to-Know Law. This certificate verifies that the agency has adopted best practices and has taken additional steps to ensure compliance with the law, such as providing online access to records and establishing a process for responding to appeals. The Pennsylvania Public Access Policy Certificate of Compliance is an important tool for ensuring that agencies are compliant with the Right-to-Know Law and are making government records available to the public.
