FAQ
Questions before you order?
These are the questions that matter most before starting a records request.
How long does it take?
Simple police and fire reports often arrive in 3–10 business days. Public-records response times vary by jurisdiction, and video or large productions can take longer. We'll provide a realistic estimate once we know the agency.
Can anyone order any record?
Many records are public, but some states restrict certain reports to involved parties, insurers, attorneys, or authorized representatives. EMS patient records and juvenile records can require additional authorization. If we determine the record cannot legally be released to you, we'll explain why.
What information do you need from me?
For police and fire records, the date, location, agency if known, and any report or case number are most helpful. For other public records, give us a clear description, relevant date range, and the agency or department if you know it.
What if the agency denies the request?
We'll send you the denial and the agency's stated reason. Extended requests include one round of narrowing or an appeal letter. If the record cannot legally be released, our terms describe when the service fee is refundable.
How are agency copy fees handled?
If the agency charges a copy, search, or production fee, we tell you the amount before paying it. We only proceed after you approve the fee.
Are you a government agency or law firm?
No. MyFOIA is an independent records-retrieval service. We are not affiliated with a government agency and we do not provide legal advice. You can always file a public-records request directly with the agency yourself.
