Most requests end up not costing anything because the FBI will give you the first hundred pages of any file for free. However, pages beyond 100 are charged at ten cents per page, and the FBI requires you to state up front that you will pay these copying charges or they won't process your request. The good news is that you can put a cap on the maximum amount you're willing to pay. We suggest $30 as a good amount. Please note that you do not need to send any money at this time. What is the maximum amount you're willing to pay for this request? See FAQ: Fees for more information.

What form of "proof of death" will you include with your request to prove to the FBI that the person whose records you're requesting is actually dead? (For more information, see "FAQ: Proof of death"). None; the subject of my request was born 110 years ago or more Copy of wikipedia article or other web-page Copy of newspaper article, obituary, or death notice Copy of encyclopedia article or other such document Copy of Social Security Death Index record Copy of death certificate I don't know yet, but let me proceed anyway
Is there any other information you can provide to help the FBI find records on this person? If so, please write a complete sentence or two here, like "John Doe was born in Ireland and immigrated to America in 1935. He was arrested by the FBI in 1950 in Chicago for participating in Communist rallies." If you can't think of anything to add, just leave this field blank.
By default, we will create a request letter for FBI Headquarters. However, not all records are stored at HQ -- some are stored at FBI Field Offices. As a result, it can be important to request records from relevant Field Offices. For example, if you know the person on whom you're requesting records was arrested by the FBI in Boston or spent most of his or her adult life in San Francisco, you should select those cities in the list below. But please select no more than six Field Offices.
