The request and other documents sent will not be returned to the submitter.
2) When a request is submitted by a legal representative, if the identity of the representative cannot be verified, the personal information will not be disclosed. In some cases, it may be necessary to contact the individuals whose personal information is requested to confirm that they have assigned the person in question the right to act on their behalf.
