The purpose of the law is to ensure an informed citizenry by providing the public with access to information that sheds light on an agency’s performance of its statutory duties. The FOIA provides that any person may ask any federal agency for records and that the agency must provide those records, unless an exemption applies or the records fall outside the coverage of the FOIA.</p> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col"> <h2 class="sr-only">Feature sections</h2> <dl> <dt><a href="/who/legal/foia/make-request.htm"><span class="about-USPS_info"></span> Make a Request</a></dt> <dd><p>Access information on how to make a request online or by mail, including who to contact with questions and how to request special categories of information.</p> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-md-6"> <p><a href="/who/legal/foia/documents/identity-certification_07-25-2017.pdf">Identity Certification</a><br> Are you requesting records about yourself?
