Public Records, Requested for You.
Tell us what records you need. FOIA Experts prepares, submits, tracks, follows up on, and manages your request through the agency’s final production or response.
We submit public-records requests in the FOIA Experts name using our business contact information and do not identify you to the agency as part of the request.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
FOIA Experts submits requests in its own name using FOIA Experts business contact information. We do not identify the underlying client to the records agency as part of the request process.
-
No. Tell us what you are looking for and provide whatever details you have, such as the agency, subject, date range, names, addresses, contract numbers, or other useful identifiers. We prepare the request, verify the appropriate submission route, and handle the agency-facing process for you.
-
FOIA Experts can assist with a wide range of government records, including procurement and contract records, permits, inspections, code-enforcement records, government communications, reports, licensing records, complaints, spending records, property records, and other agency-held information. Whether a particular record is available depends on the agency, jurisdiction, and applicable public-records law.
-
Yes. We manage public-records requests with federal, state, and local government agencies. The applicable law, terminology, procedures, response requirements, fees, and available records vary by jurisdiction, so each request is handled according to the agency and records involved.
-
Processing times vary significantly by agency and request. Some matters move quickly, while others can take weeks or longer because of agency backlogs, review requirements, the volume of records, or other factors. FOIA Experts tracks the request, follows up when appropriate, and provides updates throughout the process, but we cannot guarantee an agency’s completion date.
-
No. Government agencies control whether responsive records exist and whether particular records are subject to disclosure, redaction, or withholding. FOIA Experts professionally prepares and manages the request, but we cannot guarantee that an agency will locate or release any particular record.
-
FOIA Experts’ service fee is separate from any search, copying, duplication, production, or other fees assessed by the government agency. If an agency proposes charges that require your approval, we will contact you before authorizing fees above your approved threshold.
