An administrative subpoena under United States law is a subpoena issued by a federal agency without prior judicial oversight. Unlike with judicial subpoenas that require a court order, or grand jury subpoenas that require grand jury authorization, the congressional statutes that empower administrative subpoenas allow agencies to compel the production of documents, records, or testimony without court involvement as part of their regulatory or investigative functions.
