FOIA Information
If you cannot find the information you are looking for here or elsewhere on DC.gov you can submit a FOIA request online via the DC government Public FOIA Portal. Requests may also be submitted by mail, fax or email. However, please note that FOIA requests submitted online will be easier to track and process.
To understand the process before making a request, please see foia.dc.gov.
To ensure that your FOIA request is processed smoothly, please describe the record(s) you are seeking as clearly and precisely as possible. In your description, please be as specific as possible with regard to names, dates, places, events, subjects, and other pertinent details that will help ODR identify the records you seek. The more specific you are about the records you are seeking, the more likely ODR will be able to locate those records. We may ask you to clarify your FOIA request if we are not able to ascertain, understand, or determine what records you are seeking. This may delay the processing of your request, so please make your request as specific as possible. Include a daytime telephone number, email address, or mailing address in your request letter so that the FOIA Officer may contact you if necessary.
