International Ombudsman Institute Directory: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Find contact details for local ombudsmen to help resolve grievances against public institutions through this global directory.

This directory provides a way to find contact information for ombudsmen around the world. An ombudsman is an official who investigates complaints made by individuals against public institutions.

Who it's for

This directory is for anyone who has a grievance or a complaint against a public institution and needs to find the right person to speak with.

What you get

You get access to a list of contact details for local ombudsmen, which helps you find the specific office responsible for handling your issue.

What it costs you

There is no cost to use this directory.

The catch to know

This is only a directory of contacts; it is not a service that investigates your complaint for you. Because ombudsmen work within specific countries, you must use the directory to find the office that covers your specific location.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official website.
  2. Search for your specific country or region.
  3. Locate the contact information for the relevant local ombudsman.
  4. Use those details to reach out to them directly regarding your grievance.
