FOIA Requests

Michigan's Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq, provides that certain persons can receive copies or make inspections of most public records of public bodies upon written request. The person must sufficiently describe the records he or she seeks. The public body may charge a fee to cover the cost of complying with a person's FOIA request. 

The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs now accepts payments for FOIA requests online. Invoices will explain your payment options. Please visit our payment webpage if you want to pay online.

If you are seeking Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency information under the Freedom of Information Act you must provide a signed letter indicating the specific records you are seeking. The letter, containing your signature, can be mailed, faxed, or scanned and sent as an e-mail attachment.
