What You Can Fax to Department of Homeland Security

  • DHS TRIP redress applications
  • FOIA/Privacy Act requests
  • TSA PreCheck documentation

Tip: Write your redress number or FOIA case number at the top of each page so nothing gets separated during processing. For FOIA requests, describe the records narrowly, since a vague request slows the response and may draw a request for clarification. Include a daytime phone number and mailing address so DHS can reach you if a fee estimate or follow-up is needed.
