We hold that all requests for OPRA records must be in
writing; that such requests shall utilize the forms provided by
the custodian of the records; however, no custodian shall
withhold such records if the written request for such records,
not presented on the official form, contains the requisite
information prescribed in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f). Where the
requestor fails to produce an equivalent writing that raises
issues as to the nature or substance of the requested records,
the custodian may require that the requestor complete the form
generated by the custodian pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g).
