Federal Plain Language Guidelines

Federal Plain Language Guidelines are rules that help government communication be clear, straightforward, and easy to understand. They ensure documents are well-organized, use simple words, and avoid jargon or complex language. The goal is to make information accessible so the public can quickly find and understand what they need without confusion or unnecessary effort. By following these guidelines, government agencies provide transparent and effective communication, fostering trust and better service for everyone.
