If the information you want is not publicly available, you can submit a FOIA request to the agencys FOIA Office. The request simply must be in writing and reasonably describe the records you seek. Most federal agencies now accept FOIA requests electronically, including by web form, e-mail or fax.
You must make any request for information in writing and include your name and address. This could be in the form of a letter, email or fax. It may be useful to mention that you are requesting the information according to FoI law but you dont have to say why you want the information.
If the request is ambiguous or unclear and knowing the purpose behind it would help the authority to identify and locate the requested information, then a public authority can ask the requester why they want the information.
Your obligation to respond promptly means you should comply with a request as soon as is reasonably practicable. This is linked to your obligation to respond within 20 working days following the date of receipt, but you should treat it as a separate requirement.
You have the right to ask to see recorded information held by public authorities. The Freedom of Information Act ( FOIA ) and Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act ( FOISA ) give you the right to see information.
