Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information (“FOI”) Act（https://legislation.gov.ky/cms/images/LEGISLATION/PRINCIPAL/2007/2007-0010/2007-0010_2021%20Revision.pdf?zoom_highlight=Freedom+of+Information+Act+2021+Revision#search=%22Freedom%20of%20Information%20Act%202021%20Revision%22） promotes government accountability, transparency, and public participation in national decision-making by granting the public a general right of access to records held by the Cayman Islands Government. It also requires that certain information be made available proactively.
The FOI Act applies to “public authorities”, which are all Ministries, Portfolios, Offices, Departments, Statutory Authorities or Bodies, and Government Companies. If the information you are seeking is held by a public authority in connection with its functions, the FOI Act applies to that record. Under the FOI Act, records are defined as “information held in any form”, including documents, maps, plans, graphs or drawings, photographs, and audio or video recordings. Records can be requested by the public regardless of the date they were created or who created or supplied the records.
How It Works
Each public authority has a designated Information Manager who processes FOI requests. You can email your FOI request to the public authority’s FOI email address.
If your request is processed under the FOI Act, you will receive a written acknowledgement within 10 days. The public authority must also provide you with a decision as soon as practicable, but no more than 30 days from the day your request was received unless a 30-day extension is taken for good cause. If the public authority requires an extension of time, you will be informed before the first 30 days expires.

If you intend to make the same request to all public authorities, or if you don’t know where to direct your request after consulting the list above, you may send your request to foi@gov.ky with an explanation. The Information Rights Unit in the Cabinet Office, which helps to coordinate FOI across the public sector, will then direct your request appropriately and the relevant public authority or public authorities will respond directly to you.
