This Guide describes the arrangements for exercising the right of access to the Schengen Information System (SIS). While initially intended for data subjects in order to assist them in exercising their right of access, it is meant to be a source of practical information which can also be consulted by anyone with a professional interest in rights of access (data protection authorities, police forces, aliens departments, lawyers, etc.). The Guide falls into three sections: an outline of the general principles and main definitions relating to the SIS, a description of the procedure for exercising the right of access in each of the countries concerned, and a presentation of some special cases requiring a particular procedure.

This guide has been compiled by the Joint Supervisory Authority of Schengen
