Freedom of Information Act Requests

A FOIA request is where a person asks a federal government agency for a copy of all papers and information in its possession relating to her that is not subject to an exception. 

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson on July 4, 1966.  The United States is among about 85 countries with Freedom of Information Acts.  FOIA allows, subject to some exceptions, any person to obtain from any government agency a copy of all of the documents and information it possesses relating to that person.
