When to use another route

Before you write
- Describe the recorded information you want, with a relevant date range or case reference where you have one. Keep the request focused and use words you understand.
- Check the ICO's guide to information and disclosure log: the material you want may already be available without a letter.
- Include your name and a reply address. Use the official request guidance to check any further requirements that apply to the information you are seeking.
Check the official instructions again before sending, especially when replying to a letter that names a different team or address.
Prepare, review and keep a copy
Write your letter online or upload a PDF. The address stays editable and you review the document, postal service and full price before paying. Keep your own copy of the final letter and any references.
PostOwl prints PDF pages and posts them from inside the UK. It cannot include original documents, cheques or other physical enclosures. Printing acceptance, postal handoff and confirmed delivery are different stages; read about postal records and proof of posting if your letter is time-sensitive.
PostOwl is an independent printing and posting service and is not affiliated with this organisation. This entry helps you find an address; it does not determine whether your letter satisfies a particular process or deadline.
