The Office of Public Affairs (OPA) is the single point of contact for all inquiries about the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
We read every letter or e-mail we receive, and we will convey your comments to CIA officials outside OPA as appropriate. However, with limited staff and resources, we simply cannot respond to all who write to us.
Please check our site map, search
feature, or our site navigation on the left to locate the information you seek. We do not
routinely respond to questions for which answers are found within this Web site.
Employment: We do not routinely
answer questions about employment beyond the information on this Web site, and we do not routinely
answer questions about employment beyond the information on this Web site, and we do not routinely
answer inquiries about the status of job applications. Recruiting will contact applicants within 45
days if their qualifications meet our needs.
Because of safety concerns for the prospective applicant, as well as security and communication
issues, the CIA Recruitment Center does not accept resumes, nor can we return phone calls, e-mails
or other forms of communication, from US citizens living outside of the US. When you return
permanently to the US (not on vacation or leave), please visit the CIA
Careers page and apply online for the position of interest.
People from nearly every country share information with CIA, and new individuals contact us
daily. If you have information you think might interest CIA due to our foreign intelligence
collection mission, there are many ways to reach us.
If you know of an imminent threat to a location inside the U.S., immediately contact
your local law enforcement or FBI Field
Office. For threats outside the U.S., contact
CIA or go to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate and ask for the information to be passed to a
U.S. official. Please know, CIA does not engage in law enforcement.
In addition to the options below, individuals contact CIA in a variety of creative ways. The
best method depends on your personal situation. We will work to protect all information you
provide, including your identity, and our interactions with you will be respectful and
professional. Depending on what you provide, we may offer you compensation.
