Federal public records, free for everyone
Ask the federal government for its records -- correctly, the first time.
Answer a few plain questions. We draft a properly addressed request that cites the Freedom of Information Act, tell you exactly which office to send it to, and work out the date the agency's answer is due, so you can put it straight in your calendar.
This takes about five minutes. Your answers are held only while you are answering them, and deleted as soon as your letter is ready.

Common requests

This writes a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI's own FOIA office, asking for records the FBI already holds about you. It is not a CJIS background check and not a fingerprint-based Identity History Summary, which is a different request made a different way.
Ask the FBI for an Identity History Summary instead - Something else
