The right of access to such records rests with citizens of our state pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated ยง10-7-503(a). Please provide appropriate identification as required by T.C.A. 10-7-503, such as a driver's license, establishing that you are a citizen of this state.

For your information, Tennessee Attorney General's Opinion (01-132) dated August 22, 2001, further discusses this position. In addition, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that a state has the right to limit access to its records to its own citizens. McBurney v. Young, 133 S. Ct. 1709 (U.S., April 29, 2013).
