Frequently asked questions

Is the first request really free?

Yes. Your very first FOIA request is completely free — no credit card required. After that, each request is $4.99, or subscribe for unlimited filing.

Why $4.99 per request?

We handle all the formatting, legal language, delivery, and tracking for you. $4.99 saves you hours of research and ensures your request is properly filed.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Absolutely. Cancel from your dashboard settings or the Stripe billing portal. Your access continues until the end of your billing period. You can always file individual requests at $4.99 each.

What happens if an agency doesn't respond?

We track every statutory deadline. If an agency misses their 20 business day deadline, we'll flag it and connect you with the FOIA litigation attorneys at T Miller Law, who can take legal action on your behalf — often at no upfront cost.

Will the government charge me fees too?

Agencies may charge for search time and document duplication, but most individual requesters get the first 2 hours of search and first 100 pages free. Fees below $25–$50 are typically waived entirely, and electronic records (PDF) are usually provided at no cost. You can also request a fee waiver when filing — we include this option in the request form.

Is this an official government service?

No. FOIAfile is an independent tool that helps you exercise your rights under the Freedom of Information Act. We format and deliver your request to the correct agency.
