Three steps from question to answer

FOIA.io handles the complexity so you can focus on what matters—getting the records.

01

File your request

Search our directory of 18,000+ agencies and generate a professional request letter tailored to the agency's requirements.

02

Track the response

FOIA.io monitors deadlines, flags overdue responses, and logs every communication automatically.

03

Appeal if needed

If denied or delayed, generate a legally-grounded appeal letter in seconds—and know exactly when to escalate.

Minimal input, maximum clarity.

FOIA.io doesn't tell you how to report. It just removes the cognitive load so you can focus on the investigation instead of the paperwork.

Common questions

What types of agencies can I request from?
Federal agencies (covered by FOIA), and state and local agencies covered by state open records laws. Our directory includes 18,000+ agencies across all 50 states as well as state universities.
What happens if my request is denied?
FOIA.io can help you draft a legally-grounded administrative appeal letter tailored to the specific reason for denial.
Is my account data private?
Yes. Your requests, letters, and documents are visible only to you and are not shared with any third party.
How is the free plan limited?
The free plan allows up to 5 active requests at a time. All core features—letter drafting, the agency directory, deadline tracking, and notes—are included. Upgrading to Pro ($5/month) removes the request limit and adds professional appeal letters and priority support.
