The Information Regulator has confirmed that Form 2 is the only form that should be used for submitting requests under the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA). The previously used Form A is no longer accepted.
This signals increased regulatory oversight by the Regulator. If your organisation is still using or referencing Form A, immediate action is recommended to ensure alignment with current requirements.
Key steps to take:
- Replace all outdated PAIA forms with Form 2;
- Review and update your PAIA Manual to reflect this change;
- Ensure internal processes are compliant and up to date;
- Confirm that your PAIA and POPIA practices are properly aligned.
