Public Records Requests
The procedures below are intended to make information accessible to the public in accordance with Chapter 119.07, Florida Statutes. As a fiduciary, the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Rehabilitation and Liquidation (“Receiver”) administers insurance companies that are placed into receivership by the circuit court.
How do I request information?
Any person can make a request for public records. Such a request may be made via letter, e-mail, facsimile, telephone, or hand delivery. The request should specify the information wanted from the Receiver. The requested information will be provided in a reasonable period of time under normal conditions and in accordance with applicable law, unless such information is considered under the law to be confidential or exempt from public records disclosure; if confidential and/or exempt, you will be notified in writing of such status.
Public records requests should be sent to

Circle, S.E., Alexander Building, Suite 350,
Tallahassee, Florida 32301 or you may submit

Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your
e-mail address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail to this
entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.
How much does it cost?
Hard copy cost is 50 cents per one-sided copy for duplicated
copies of not more than 14 inches by 81/2 inches; no more than
an additional 5 cents for each two-sided copy; and for all other
copies, the actual cost of duplication of the public record. In
addition to the copying fees, postage must also be paid. Payment
is required prior to the distribution of requested information.
To avoid postage costs, the requested documents may be picked up
in person at the Division of Rehabilitation and Liquidation in
Tallahassee. In addition to the copying and postage fees, a special
service charge will apply when the time it takes staff to respond
to the public records request exceeds one hour. Staff time will be
based on prorated hourly salary rates and
benefits. Special service charges are
intended to cover all personnel costs incurred in responding to a
public records request.
Can I view documents at the Division of Rehabilitation and Liquidation offices?
Yes, in lieu of copied information being mailed or picked up, it may be inspected by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, at the Division of Rehabilitation and Liquidation offices in Tallahassee. Special service charges, described above, will apply to on-site document viewing. Requests should follow the procedure outlined above and allow a reasonable amount of time for compilation of the requested information. Appointments need to be made prior to arrival for inspection of requested information.
