Mr. Faraj,
It has been determined you may require access to classified information. This access requires a favorable adjudication of a Background Investigation (BI) that will be
conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In order to initiate this process it is necessary for you to submit a security clearance package to this office.
Attached you will find guidelines and a checklist to assist you in submitting the Standard Form 86 (SF-86), Questionnaire for National Security Positions using e-QIP. E-QIP is a secure website that can
be accessed from any computer system which has an internet connection. This process will need to be completed within 10 days upon receipt of this notice.
Also attached are documents that must be submitted separately that are not part of
e-QIP such as the IRS Tax Waiver Form, Department of Justice consumer/credit release form and additional instructions for completing your fingerprint cards.
To complete your SF-86 using e-QIP, go to the following link: https://www.e-qip.opm.gov/eqip/eQIP
. Please thoroughly read and follow the instructions for completing this form. NOTE: To fully address suitability/security issues, responses to questions on the SF-86 must go back ten years. Failure to complete the application as instructed may
lead to significant delays in processing your BI.
Please read the following helpful information.
From the website, you will:
- Select e-QIP Application Site. An automated test of your computer web browser for compatibility will be conducted.
- If your browser is not compatible, instructions will explain what you need to do to be able to complete the form on line.
- Check your Internet Explorer settings to make sure that you have TLS 1.0 enabled in your security settings. TLS 1.0 is needed to view e-QIP. To do this, conduct the following steps:
- Open IE and select Tools. Then select Internet Options. Next select the tab marked Advanced. Scroll down to the Security section at the bottom of the listing and make sure the box next to TLS 1.0
is checked. Select Apply, then Okay.
- If the results of the web browser check are complete, you will then select continue.
- You will then be asked to provide your social security number (SSN).
- Once this is completed, you will be asked three (3) â??Golden Questionsâ??.
(your last name, year of birth, and city of birth)
If you were born in Washington, DC, please note: when the system requests your city of birth enter Washington only. DC will be your state code.
Once you have completed the e-QIP application you will need to do the following:
- Certify your form by clicking the Certify button. This step certifies that you have provided correct and accurate information. Once certified, your answers to the Questionnaire will be locked and unavailable for editing.
- Print an archival copy of your form for your own records.
- Print out the 3 e-QIP release forms 1) e-QIP Certification Page 2) e-QIP Authorization for Release of Information, and 3) e-QIP Authorization for Release of Medical Information.
- Select the Release request/Transmit to Agency. The forms will be sent electronically to this office. If there are any errors found during the review of your form we will return it to you electronically for corrections indicating the errors
and the process to the follow to correct them.
Please return the completed IRS Tax Waiver Form and DOJ consumer/credit release forms along with two (2) completed fingerprint cards. Also include a cover letter indicating the name of the case that you are
associated with and your position, i.e., law clerk, attorney. Both fingerprint cards should be filled in with the biographical data and legibly signed. Your fingerprints can be taken by the local police department or arrangements may be made with the U.S.
