Newnan Open Records Requests

The City Clerk is the Open Records Officer for the City of Newnan. All city records except police and municipal court files go through this office. Newnan uses a platform called NextRequest to manage open records. You submit your request online, track the status, and download documents when they are ready. The process is simple. Go to the Newnan Open Records portal, pick the type of records you need, and fill out the form. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71, the city has three business days to respond.

The Newnan NextRequest portal is shown below and gives you a clear way to start a new public records request for Newnan.

Once you submit a request, you can check back at any time to see the status. Documents get posted right to the portal when they are done.

If you need police records from Newnan, those go through a different channel. The Police Department has its own Open Records Officer. You can still use the NextRequest portal, but you select "Police" as the category. The police records phone line is 770-253-1858. For everything else, contact the City Clerk at 770-253-2682 or email cityclerk@newnanga.gov. Georgia law under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives the public a broad right to inspect and copy government documents, and Newnan follows the same rules as the rest of the state.

Coweta County Records for Newnan

The Coweta County website has links to multiple departments. Tax records go through the Coweta County Tax Commissioner. Property tax records often show who owns a piece of land, which can be useful when you are trying to find someone in Newnan.

How to Search People in Newnan

A people search in Newnan can take a few different paths depending on what you are looking for. Here is a quick breakdown of which office to contact:

• City records and general public documents: City Clerk at 770-253-2682 or the NextRequest form
• Traffic tickets and city ordinance cases: Newnan Municipal Court at 678-673-5364
• Police reports and incident records: Police Records Division at 770-253-1858
• Civil lawsuits, felonies, and probate: Coweta County Clerk of Superior Court

Georgia's Open Records Act makes most government files available to the public. The first 15 minutes of staff time are free. After that, agencies can charge for the time it takes to find and copy records, but the rate is capped at the hourly wage of the lowest-paid employee who can do the work. Copies cost ten cents a page in most cases. Newnan follows these same rules. You do not need to explain why you want the records. Just state what you need and how you want to receive it.

If you are running a people search and the person has ties to places beyond Coweta County, the GSCCCA statewide search is a good next step. It covers deed records across all 159 Georgia counties and can help tie a person to an address or property. Voter registration records through the Georgia Secretary of State are another resource that is free and open to the public.
