How do I request access to the AAJC?

AAJC representatives may reach out to your agency to collect the information required to access the AAJC, or you may request access yourself. If you have already been confirmed by the DOJ to be a Custodian of Records (COR) for your agency and you do not have portal access, please email AAJCsupport@doj.ca.gov. Include your agency name and ORI number in the email.
