The Form DAT1 is an official subject access request under the Data Protection Act 1998, Sections 7(1)(a) and 7(1)(c)(i). It enables individuals to request confirmation from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) of whether records about them are held in PSNI information systems, and to obtain copies of those records. The PSNI must respond within 40 days of receiving a completed application, a £10 fee, and valid proof of identity.
This application is relevant to anyone who wants to know what information the PSNI holds about them. Typical reasons to submit include:
The PSNI may withhold certain records if releasing them could prejudice law enforcement operations or identify third parties. Your application must include valid proof of identity and a £10 fee paid by cheque or postal order to the PSNI Data Protection Office.
You can also complete related document requests at FormsPal, including the Police Personnel Data Form and the Personal Data Sheet.
