Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions

What it is

The questionnaire for public trust positions. It sits between the SF 85 and the SF 86 in scope, and it supports a suitability or fitness decision rather than a national security eligibility decision.

What you do

Complete and submit it. Section numbers do not correspond to the SF 86, so guidance written for the SF 86 will not map cleanly onto it.

Also called

SF-85P, SF85P, public trust questionnaire.
