Unofficial Foreign Travel Reporting Requirements for DoD Civilians

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hi Everyone,

Are DoD Civilians with a Secret Clearance required to report close contact with foreign relatives while visiting OCONUS who were already included in my investigations prior to continuous vetting? Will I be able to reside with them or is it advised to stay in lodging? This is my mother/father/brother-in-law. Am I required to report my foreign national spouse/children’s personal travel even if I am not traveling?

When in doubt talk to your agency’s security department and report just in case. Better to over report than under report because a stranger online said it was okay.
