The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a state law that provides citizens with access to public records.  Each City department is a separate agency responsible for maintaining its own records, so requests should be submitted to the department that maintains the records you want.

​All Freedom of Information requests submitted to City of Chicago departments must include the following information:

1. The  name,  mailing address  and  contact information  of the requester

2. A description of the records that are being requested
