The Tennessee Public Records Act provides that any citizen of Tennessee has the right to personally inspect a public record unless there is a state law that restricts or prohibits inspection. If you are a TN. citizen, with photo identification issued by a governmental entity, you will need to come by our office for the inspection. It is best to schedule your visit, to confirm the record exists, that it can be legally inspected, and to allow prompt service upon arrival.
