Legal Requirements

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 39-121.03, any person requesting copies, printouts, or photographs of public records for a commercial purpose must provide a VERIFIED STATEMENT as to the use of such reproductions.

A person providing a verified statement setting forth the commercial purpose for which the reproduction will be used may be furnished such reproductions at the discretion of the custodian of the records for a charge reflecting the following:

• A portion of the cost to the State for obtaining the documents or records to be reproduced.
• A reasonable fee covering the cost of time, equipment, and personnel in making the reproduction, and
• The value of reproduction on the commercial market.

If the custodian of a public record believes that the commercial purpose of a reproduction is a misuse of public records or an abuse of the right to receive them, he or she may refuse a request and may request the Governor to prohibit furnishing such reproductions by Executive Order. If no Executive Order is issued within thirty (30) days of the custodian’s application, the requesting party will be furnished such reproductions for the stated commercial purpose.

Definition of "Commercial Purpose"

"Commercial purpose" is broadly defined by law as “any purpose in which the purchaser can reasonably anticipate the receipt of monetary gain from the direct or indirect use of such public record” [A.R.S. § 39-121.03(D)]. Examples include:

• Copies of records for sale or resale, and
• Copies of names and addresses for solicitation of business.

• Pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-2702, a person who commits perjury is guilty of a Class 4 felony, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.
