FOIA Fax Questions
Which agencies accept FOIA requests by fax?
Many federal, state, and local agencies accept FOIA requests via fax. Check the agency's FOIA page or contact them directly to confirm their preferred submission method.
Do I need to include a cover page?
While not always required, a cover page with your contact information and a brief description of your request is recommended. OneFaxNow can generate a cover page for you.
What if the agency's fax line is busy?
OneFaxNow automatically retries your fax 3 times over several hours. If all attempts fail, you pay $0 and receive a notification to try again later.
