Which form is used for disposal after records are determined to be destroyed?

• A. Request & Authorization for Disposal Form
• B. Destruction Authorization Note
• C. Records Disposal Request
• D. Disposal Order Form

Answer: (A)

Disposal in records management requires a single official document that both requests the action and records the authorization to proceed. The form used after records are determined to be destroyable is the Request & Authorization for Disposal Form, because it combines initiating disposal with the approved authorization in one auditable record. This ensures accountability, confirms the item description, disposal method, date, and responsible signatures, and aligns with retention schedules and privacy requirements. Other options either convey only a request, only an authorization, or imply a higher-order disposal directive, which can break the necessary trail and formal approval process.
