*Note: You cannot request personal information about, or on behalf of, another living person.

Proof of identity must be submitted before a request can be actioned.
If the Northern Ireland Prison Service has the information you have requested and you are entitled to receive it under the relevant legislation, the Prison Service will endeavour to provide it within the appropriate timeframe (20 working days for requests under the Freedom of Information Act or Environmental Information Regulations, or 40 calendar days under the Data Protection Act).
Important: If your request is for personal information under the Data Protection Act, you should print off the form and forward with proof of identity to the Senior Records and Information Manager, Dundonald House, Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast BT4 3SU.
