- Search Warrant — required for content data, message content, and comprehensive account records
- Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) — for requests from foreign law enforcement agencies
All requests must be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction and comply with applicable law. Requests that do not meet these requirements will be rejected.
🌎 Note for International Agencies: Requests from law enforcement outside the United States must be submitted through official Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) channels or via a court order from a US court. We are unable to process informal international requests.
