Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

OIG is an independent component within the Department of State and responds to requests for records that are exclusively Department of State OIG-related such as OIG inspections, audits, or investigations relating to the programs and operations of the Department of State.

If your FOIA/Privacy Act request does not apply to these OIG categories, please refer your request to the Department of State FOIA website (https://foia.state.gov) or the appropriate agency for further information.
