FOIA Requests
Information required by the USNCB to Process a FOIA Request
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) specifies only two requirements for an access request: It must "reasonably describe" the records sought and it must be made in accordance with the agency's published FOIA regulations. Therefore, in making your FOIA/PA request, please provide a request letter, describing the records you seek, along with a DOJ Form 361, Certificate of Identity, if appropriate. Send the request letter and a completed Certification of Identity to the following address:
FOIA/PA Specialist
Office of the General Counsel
INTERPOL - United States National Central Bureau
U.S. Department of Justice
Washington, DC 20530-0001
