Get the form from the body that receives it
The Commission publishes an Inquiry Form with instructions on completing, saving and submitting it. It also offers accessibility assistance. This site does not reproduce an official form, accept completed inquiries or forward private evidence to the Commission; use the Commission’s current form and delivery instructions directly.
After the initial form is submitted
The Commission may contact the inquirer for more detail or explain the intake decision. If the criteria are met, it prepares a prescribed formal complaint for the person to review and sign. The initial inquiry should not be confused with an accepted and signed formal complaint; the person should retain dated copies of relevant materials and check any approaching deadline.
Primary and official sources
Use the official form
Use the Commission’s current online or downloadable inquiry form and its instructions. We link to the official source rather than hosting a copied version that could become outdated.
Submission and accessibility
Follow the Commission’s instructions for submission. If you need assistance or an accessible format, use its official contact and accessibility options.
Know what you are sending
The inquiry form is used for preliminary assessment. It is not the same thing as an accepted complaint, and our publication does not receive forms or confidential documents.
