SF-86 Resources for FSOs
A free, printable checklist you can hand to new hires before their eApp invitation, so they arrive with their history already gathered.
Why Hand It Out
- Missing addresses, jobs, and verifiers are a common reason forms come back for corrections.
- New hires can start gathering records before the eApp link arrives.
- One page, plain language, no account and no email required.
What's on the Checklist
- Documents to have ready: passport, citizenship records, and prior investigation details
- Ten years of addresses and employment, with a person who knew them for the last three
- References, relatives, foreign travel and contacts, and finances to gather
- Tips: be complete and honest, ask the security office when unsure, never enter classified information
- A blank line for your office's contact details
