Remote Public Records Assistant (Delaware residents only)

Pay: $35 per records request filed, plus $15 per agency reply you forward and answer with our language. Most filings take 15 to 25 minutes with the text we hand you. Expect 10 to 20 filings a month to start. $50 bonus each time a request you filed produces the video. Who we are: Unspoken Crime Media, a Florida documentary company. We make long-form videos from police body-camera footage and 911 audio in closed criminal cases. We get that footage through public records requests. Why we need a Delaware resident: Delaware's Freedom of Information Act only lets Delaware citizens request public records (29 Del. C. 10003). We write every request. You file it in your own name from your Delaware address and forward us what comes back. The records are public once released, and you may share them with us. What you do 1. Receive a ready-to-send request from us (we write it, you copy it into the agency's portal or email it). 2. File it under your name, as a Delaware citizen, and send us the confirmation number the same day. 3. Forward every agency reply to us within 24 hours: fee estimates, questions, denial letters, download links. 4. Answer the agency with the exact language we send you. Never invent an answer. 5. Occasionally sign a short form we prepare (for example, a statement that the records are for news reporting and not for resale). You sign only what is true. You need - Delaware residence with a Delaware mailing address you can receive agency mail at. - Laptop or desktop with reliable internet, an email account you check daily, and a phone. - Comfort with web forms and email. No legal background required. - Attention to detail: request numbers, dates, deadlines. - Reliability. Agencies run clocks. A missed deadline kills a request. Nice to have: notary commission (we pay extra per notarized statement), process-server or paralegal experience, familiarity with NextRequest or JustFOIA portals. Terms: independent contractor (1099). We pay all agency fees directly or reimburse you within 24 hours with receipts; you never front money. Paid weekly by Zelle or PayPal. Trial: first three filings at the stated rate, then ongoing if it works for both sides.

Pay: $500.00 - $900.00 per month
