October 15, 2024

• Social Security numbers
• Drivers license numbers
• Employee numbers
• Home, cell or personal phone numbers
• Personal financial information
• Home addresses of law enforcement and judges
• A minor’s name, home address and date of birth
• Pre-decision deliberations
• A transcript or copy of a 911 recording (without a court order or subpoena)
• A record from a court or court-related office (except financial records)

 These records must be requested directly from the appropriate office since they are part of the unified judicial system and do not fall under the requirements of the Open Records Law. For example, civil case information can be obtained through the Prothonotary, criminal court information through the Clerk of Courts, and District Court matters can be obtained through each respective Magisterial District Judge office.
