official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request

including all of the information required on the adopted form shall
suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record
request.

New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial
purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
