To Receive Your Records as Efficiently As Possible FOIA requests are intended to provide access to CBP records. Please note that the FOIA process is not intended to be a mechanism for asking questions of CBP. After your FOIA request is acknowledged you can track the status of your request at any time. Once your request is submitted you will receive an acknowledgment and a FOIA tracking number. If you are requesting records on behalf of someone else, you need a signed G-28 form (Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative), or some other form of signed consent that will allow CBP to release the records to a 3rd party.
