Can I order more than one copy of a free publication?

We have a limited number of copies of each publication, especially free ones. The sponsoring agency determines how many copies are allowable per consumer. Multiple copies of some of the free titles are available. Please call toll-free 1-888-878-3256 for more information.

As an alternative to requesting multiple copies of individual publications, bulk quantities of the Consumer Information Catalog are available. We'd be happy to send you as many Catalogs as you'd like so that your members, students, etc. can order their own publications.

Can I distribute the information in your Catalog?

The publications distributed through the FCIC are published or sponsored by a variety of Federal and private-sector organizations. In most instances, FCIC is not the publisher and cannot provide legal advice pertaining to the legality of the sale or further use of the information. While most of the information is in the public domain and can be copied and used for educational purposes, we can't provide a blanket assurance that all of the information is in that category. If you are planning to copy and distribute this information, especially for profit, it would be prudent to contact the publishing agency for permission and consult a lawyer.
