G-325A, Biographic Information

[spencer12 0]

In the first couple of blocks it says "family name - Father - mother (maiden name), do I put both my father’s family name and my mother’s maiden name in this block or just one of them, I’m asking this because the next block to the right just asks for 1 first name of my father or mother, how would they know who's first name it was if I put both my father’s family name and my mother’s maiden name in the block before it?

Directly below this block it asks "current Husband or wife maiden family name", is it asking my father’s current wife (my mom) or my current wife if I had one?

Just confused if it asked this for me because why would it ask for my wife’s name, I obviously don't have one if I'm filing this out....

Also I've been reading this forum and I noticed a couple people saying you only need 1 G-325A per person now? Is this true or should I fill out 4 per person just to be safe still?

thank you guys so much in advance for helping me out, this website is priceless, can't believe how confusing this process is, I've filled out security clearances in the united states that were far less confusing than this , once I finish this process I hope to repay the favor by helping out others going through the same deal once I get educated on this a little more

You will notice one box above the other. Obviously the top box with the word "father" in front of it is your FATHERS surname (last name), the bottom box with "mothers maiden name" in front of it is where you put your mothers maiden name. Then following each line along. So obviously the top line in "first name" is your fathers first name. The lower box in "first name" is your mothers, and so on and so forth.

Directly below this block it asks "current Husband or wife maiden family name", is it asking my father’s current wife (my mom) or my current wife if I had one? YOU are filing in this form. All questions asked relate to YOU unless it says otherwise. If you are not married then this box is filled with "N/A". This form isn't JUST for fiance's, this is also for married people, divorced people etc. In fact during the AOS process the beneficiary will need to fill this form in again. At that stage she/he will have a spouse.

Just confused if it asked this for me because why would it ask for my wife’s name, I obviously don't have one if I'm filing this out.... as above

Also I've been reading this forum and I noticed a couple people saying you only need 1 G-325A per person now? Is this true or should I fill out 4 per person just to be safe still? The previous form automatically filled in 4 forms when you filled in the first page. The latest form only does one. Most people are including 4 copies just to "be safe" but it isn't asked anywhere in the instructions

Ah okay thank you! I'm filling out the form electronically so I didn't notice there where two spaces in the first name box and so on, they really need to put a line there or something separating those two.

Double check you have the most recent form. Up on the top right on the form there is a "exipres on" date which the latest form is 06/30/2011

Also make sure you have the most recent adobe reader.

Good luck!
