Useful numbers and e-mail addresses

Contacting Examiners
Should you need to contact an examiner for a legal query regarding a specific file, the best way is to go through the switchboard and ask for them by name. If the examiner is not available, we recommend that you leave a message on the answering machine of the examiner or send an e-mail through the Information Centre address: information@oami.europa.eu You should get a reply within two days.

Requesting administrative documents
The majority of documents are already available on the website. Please check the "Requesting administrative documents" web page for further details, and for instructions on how to make a formal application for access to documents should that be necessary.
