3.  Fair Credit Reporting Act Form: Form DHS 11000-0 (Replaces DOT 1631)
Disclosure and Authorization Pertaining to Consumer Reports Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This form replaces the original form issued by the DOT. Submit in duplicate.

4. Questionnaire for National Security Positions: Form SF-86.
a:
PDF Version
b. MS Word Version

Two (2) copies required, filled out in BLACK INK. Sign with original signatures in BLUE INK on all copies.
It is strongly recommended that a blank copy of the SF-86 be printed out as a work copy.

An SF-86 must be submitted regardless of current security clearance status.  A current security clearance, as indicated in the SF-86, simply relieves the SECCEN of not having to do a duplicate investigation. The form is still required to verify current status.

Note: Unless you have a program that allows saving PDF documents, the PDF  version cannot be saved online. All data will be lost after leaving the government  website. The alternative is to use the MS Word version.
The MS version can also be sent in an encrypted state to the DDSL for review via e-mail. When encrypting (saved with a password), be sure to use an alternative file name, not the original file name. That way in the event something goes wrong with the encryption process, you will still have the original document. This process is only for review. The actual application, and related forms, must be sent to the DDSL for review and processing.
Under no circumstances is an unencrypted SF-86 to be sent in open e-mail.

4a. SF-86 Continuation Sheets 
Use this form to continue entries for residences, schools attended and employment. For other entries that exceed what the form provides for, simply attach a blank paper to the SF-86 with the appropriate information. Be sure to indicate what block number you are referencing.  Submit in duplicate if this form is used.

Regardless of which method is utilized, two copies must be submitted with the package.
* Each copy of the SF-86 must have an original signature on it in BLUE INK. You may fill in one copy, photo copy it, then sign both in blue ink.  A third copy should be retained for future reference. 
* This form is time sensitive. If completing now, do not sign until directed to do so by the DDSL.
* All blocks must be filled in. Use N/A where information is not applicable. If something is unknown or you cannot recall, so state. But be prepared to explain on another page, or to the SECCEN at a later date.
* Place Social Security Number on the bottom of each page, beginning with page #2. Page 1 has it on top.
* If you check yes to block #21 of the SF-86, you must submit a Release of Medical Information. 

 NOTE: It is imperative that the instructions for filling out the SF-86 be read in its entirety. This form can be intimidating and confusing if the instructions are not read thoroughly, and followed explicitly.
