FAQ
A contractor cannot request its own FCL. 11. How can a contractor obtain an FCL? An uncleared contractor must be sponsored for an FCL either by the U.S. Government or by another cleared contractor that wants to utilize the contractor's services on a classified contract.
Non-US citizens cannot obtain a security clearance; however, as an exception only, they may be granted a Limited Access Authorization (LAA).
You can't acquire one on your own. You have to either apply directly with the federal government at USAJOBS or an agency as college intern where you can get an clearance (ie: FBI). The other route is to join a branch of the military active, guard, or reserve where the position requires a security clearance.
Submitting an SF-86 Every Five Years For cleared candidates, submitting the new form is an opportunity to update address, employment, and other details.
The Standard Form 86 “Questionnaire for National Security Positions” (SF-86) is a background investigation form you need to fill out for a security clearance. The information provided on this form is used to determine whether you are reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and loyal to the U.S.
A Secret security clearance takes the least amount of time to process and allows for escorted access to FBI facilities. The procedure is as follows: FBI performs record checks with various Federal agencies and local law enforcement, as well as, a review of credit history. Candidate completes forms SF-86 and FD-258.
The entire process takes, on average, 9-12 months and having a security clearance already may not speed up the process. You can only start the process after you receive a conditional offer. You will need to complete SF-86. Once you submit the SF-86, the security team will review it and contact you for more information.
Individuals to whom these regulations apply must use Form DS-1887, Foreign Contact Report (available on MyData), to report all contacts for which reports are required. If the official duty station is a U.S. mission or post abroad, the report must be submitted to either the RSO or PSO.
In essence, if personnel working for a contractor require access to classified information in the performance of their duties, the contractor must have an FCL and the personnel must have personnel security clearances (PCLs).
How Employees Report. When a cleared employee plans to travel abroad, they need to email their FSO at least 10 business days before they leave. Some companies may require notice further out from the planned travel. This email should include where they're traveling to and the dates they'll be there.
