Political Appointment Application Forms

 

The following are application forms that are commonly used in the political appointment process.  Although each administration has the option of changing both the forms and the types of information requested, candidates for the upcoming administration are likely to encounter similar requests for information as in the forms attached below.  These include: 

-- SF-278 Public Financial Disclosure Report
 
-- SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions
 

See the Questionnaire for Potential Appointees in the Obama-Biden Administration for a look at 63 questions that can make a real difference in the political appointment process.  NOTE THAT A PDF OF THE OBAMA-BIDEN TRANSITION QUESTIONNAIRE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY so that potential appointees can see the types of questions they will have to answer if they are selected for a political appointment with the Obama-Biden Administration. For more information, go to www.whitehouse.gov.
