Request Information on Yourself

Consider submitting a Privacy Act request rather than a FOIA request if you believe that the records you want are filed under your name, Social Security Number (SSN), or other personal identifier. Privacy Act requesters do not pay search fees but do pay $ .08 cents per page released. For detailed information on the Privacy Act (PA), 5 U.S.C. 552a, see the Department of Justice Text on the Privacy Act.
