New York FOIL Request

Request government records under New York's Freedom of Information Law. We'll turn your answers into a properly formatted, legally compliant request — and send copies to oversight organizations for accountability.

You are protected from retaliation

Retaliation for filing a good-faith complaint is illegal. Your filing creates an independent, time-stamped paper trail with outside oversight partners so it cannot be quietly buried.

You choose how much to share

Many filings can be submitted anonymously. You are always in control of your information and who receives a copy.

We take it one step at a time

There is no rush. We'll guide you through short, simple sections — you can go back and change anything before you submit.
