OPRA requests must be made in writing through which channel?

• A. Verbally
• B. In Writing
• C. Electronically
• D. By Mail

Answer: (B)

OPRA requires requests to be made in writing rather than spoken. This written format creates a tangible record of what’s being requested, who is requesting it, and which records are sought, helping the agency locate and process the request accurately. The channel isn’t limited to one method—delivery can be by mail, email, or in person—as long as the submission results in a written document. Verbal requests don’t satisfy the requirement. So the best choice is the one that specifies the request is made in writing.
