A formal access request need not be framed as such. To me *any* request for
a view of data held is an SAR. So you need to follow your laid down
procedure for handling such a request, including necessary proof of identity
and fee if you choose to levy it.

Subject: [data-protection] Subject access
I am still 'holding the fort' on DP and have a subject access issue to deal
with.
The Act refers to 'a request in writing' and my understanding has been that
the DP Act or the expression 'subject access' do not necessarily have to be
mentioned if a request is clear enough (e.g in the case of someone querying
their exam marks who wants a breakdown of them).
Do you agree that even if current practice is not to routinely provide a
breakdown of exam marks, that if an individual asks for them, we should
advise that they have the right to them under the DP Act (& of course
provide them on receiving the fee and being satisfied as to identity), even
if they don't mention the DP Act or 'subject access'?
