Freedom of Information

As a public authority, the Cayman Islands General Registry (GR) is committed to openness, transparency and serving the public interest in compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (2021 Revision). The FOI Act gives the public a right of access records held by public authorities, but also sets out some exemptions from that right.

Each public authority covered by the FOI Act has a legal duty to adopt and maintain a publication scheme.  The main purpose of a publication scheme is to make information readily available without the need for specific written requests.
