The Biographic Information questionnaire is where you review and update information related to your identity, contact information, demographics, citizenship and emergency contact information. Pages contained within this questionnaire may vary based on information needed by the hiring agency during the onboarding process. Much of this information is included in your application record and can be modified and corrected here before submitting any onboarding paperwork.

Biographic Information Questionnaire Identity page

The Identity page displays your name, previous names used, social security number and date of birth. The following elements are displayed:

  • First Name. This is your first name that will display on all of your onboarding forms and information.
  • Middle Name. This is your middle name that will display on all of your onboarding forms and information.
  • Last Name. This is the name that identifies you as a person for legal, administrative and other official purposes. A person's first legal name generally is the name of the person that was given for the purpose of registration of the birth and which then appears on a birth certificate, but may change subsequently. Most jurisdictions require the use of a legal name for all legal and administrative purposes, and some jurisdictions permit or require a name change to be recorded at marriage. The legal name may need to be used on various government issued documents (e.g., a court order). The term is also used when an individual changes their first or full name, typically after reaching a certain legal age (usually 18 or over). For instructions, see Adding an "other name" or alias to the identity page.
