An individual’s request for information pertaining to him or herself is processed under both the FOIA and the PA to afford maximum access to records. Because you have asked for copies of records about yourself, we must verify your identity to ensure that your personal information is not released to anyone other than you or someone you properly designate. The DHS FOIA regulations at 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.3(a) require verification of your identity, including your full name, current address and date and place of birth.

In addition, your request must be made in writing, must contain your signature, and should either be notarized or contain a statement made under penalty of perjury as required by 28 U.S.C. §1746. Because you have not provided this documentation, your request is not a proper FOIA request, and we are unable to initiate searching for responsive records.

This is not a denial of your request, however this request will be administratively closed. Please submit a new FOIA request, along with the required information, via your SecureRelease account, and notate this case number in your request. If you do not have a SecureRelease account, it is strongly encouraged that you create one, as it is the most efficient way to submit requests, receive correspondence and receive responsive records.

Please note that this message has been sent from an unmonitored e-mail account. Any messages sent to this account will not be read.

Sincerely,
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
