The NextRequest solution is a web-based platform designed to simplify and modernize public records management. The platform not only enables residents to easily submit public records requests but also allows them to track their request status and access a number of public records already uploaded into the system.<\/p>\n<p>In a joint statement the Allen County Commissioners shared that, \u201cIt is important to continue to update technology to improve communication between Allen County residents and local government. We\u2019re pleased with this solution that will simplify record requests for constituents and automate tasks that were cumbersome and time-consuming for our employees. NextRequest will save taxpayers money, enhance collaboration across departments, and assist staff in delivering timely responses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The link to the NextRequest portal can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencounty.in.gov\/472\/Public-Records-Request\" target=\"_blank\">Public Records Request page<\/a> on the county\u2019s website. Other website features that allow Allen County residents to customize their viewing and communication experience with county government are MyAccount and Notify Me\u00ae Citizen Communication Subscription. Check out these features and more at https:\/\/www.allencounty.in.gov.<\/p>\n<p>There are many departments within county government that create, maintain, and\/or archive records. For the sake of record releases, the Allen County Board of Commissioners manages collecting records for the 15 departments that fall under its purview as well as copies of contracts. The following lists include different departments along with examples of some of the records in their care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allen County Recorder\u2019s Office<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencountyrecorder.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.allencountyrecorder.us\/<\/a><br \/>\nProperty Deeds<br \/>\nMortgages and liens<br \/>\nNeighborhood Covenants<br \/>\nMilitary Discharge Records<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allen County Department of Health<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/allencountyhealth.com\/records\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/allencountyhealth.com\/records<\/a><br \/>\nPaternity Affidavits<br \/>\nBirth &#038; Death Records<br \/>\nPhase 1 Environmental Assessments<br \/>\nHealth Inspection Records<br \/>\nVaccination &#038; Medical Records<br \/>\nGenealogical Records<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allen County Clerk of the Circuit &#038; Superior Courts<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/allencountyclerk.in.gov\/obtain-copies-of-records\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/allencountyclerk.in.gov\/obtain-copies-of-records\/<\/a><br \/>\nMarriage Records<br \/>\nCertified Copies of Court Records<\/p>\n<p><strong>Police Records<\/strong><br \/>\nRequests for police records need to be submitted to the specific police department that handled the matter.
