Get My FBI File
... because if you don't ask, you'll never know ...

If you'll just fill in the information below, we'll gin up some nice letters you can send off to get a copy of your file from the FBI or other government agencies...

Tell us about yourself

Important! You might not feel comfortable typing in some of the information we're asking for here. That's ok, we understand. Feel free to leave any (even all!) fields blank that you're uncomfortable filling in. Anything you leave blank we'll leave as a "fill-in-the-blank" in your letter. You can then fill in the blanks by hand on your paper letters after you've printed them out. See FAQ: Privacy for more information.

(City and state)

What's the maximum amount you're willing to pay for this request? Most requests end up being free because the FBI will give you the first hundred pages of any file for free. However, pages beyond 100 are charged at ten cents per page, and the FBI requires you to state up front that you will pay these copying charges or they won't process your request. The good news is that you can put a cap on the maximum amount you're willing to pay. We suggest $30 as a good amount. Please note that you do not need to send any money at this time. What is the maximum amount you're willing to pay for this request? See FAQ: Fees for more information.

Where do you want to send your requests? By default, we will create a request letter for FBI Headquarters. However, not all records are stored at HQ -- some are stored at FBI Field Offices. As a result, it can be important to request records from relevant Field Offices. For example, if you were arrested by the FBI in Boston or spent most of your adult life in San Francisco, you should select those cities in the list below. But please select no more than six Field Offices.

Albany Albuquerque Anchorage Atlanta Baltimore
Birmingham Boston Buffalo Charlotte Chicago
Cincinnati Cleveland Columbia Dallas Denver
Detroit El Paso Honolulu Houston Indianapolis
Jackson Jacksonville Kansas City Knoxville Las Vegas
Little Rock Los Angeles Louisville Memphis Milwaukee
Minneapolis Mobile New Haven New Orleans New York
Newark Norfolk North Miami Beach Oklahoma City Omaha
Philadelphia Phoenix Pittsburgh Portland Richmond
Sacramento Salt Lake City San Antonio San Diego San Francisco
San Juan Seattle Springfield St. Louis Tampa
Washington D.C.
(Note that the Washington DC Field Office is not the same as FBI Headquarters. The DC Field Office holds files concerning the Washington DC region.)

Special bonus agency request! While we're at it, we can generate request letters to some other Federal agencies besides the FBI that you may be interested in (or who may have been interested in you!). Just check the boxes next to the ones that you think might have records on you.

National Security Agency (NSA)
Defense Security Service (DSS)
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
U.S. Marshals Service (USMS)
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
Secret Service (USSS)
