Write a request

Describe what you need, review the draft and submit it with one click.

Describe what you are looking for in plain language. FOIAGen drafts a request letter written to the chosen agency's own rules and format.

You can edit any line of the draft before sending. FOIAGen never sends a request on its own: you always click send.

Once sent, the request moves to tracking automatically, where its deadline, replies and documents are kept together.

Sending the same request to several agencies at once is a campaign; see the Campaigns guide.
