Open Government

The District is committed to a transparent, open form of government. District agency websites are required to make certain records available online to the public, if those records exist. In cases where these records exist but are not yet available online, agencies are working to provide them as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact the FOIA Officer.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests

Under the District’s Freedom of Information Act, any person may request access to public records. The most efficient way to submit a FOIA request for records in possession of the OAG  is via the DC government Public FOIA Portal. Requests may also be submitted by mail, fax, or email.

For information about the FOIA statute and process before making a request, please visit foia.dc.gov.
