DA Form 1144. Request for Dossier/Index Check
The DA Form 1144 is used to request a dossier or index check on an individual within the Department of Army. It is typically used for personnel or security purposes, such as background checks or investigations.
The form consists of several parts, including sections for identifying information about the individual being checked and the purpose of the check, as well as spaces for signatures and dates. It also includes an authorization section where the individual authorizing the check can provide their name, title, and contact information.
Important fields to consider when filling out the form include the individual's name, social security number, and other identifying information. It is crucial to provide accurate and complete information to ensure that the correct individual is being checked and that the appropriate records are accessed.
The parties involved in the form are the individual requesting the check, any authorized personnel or agencies responsible for conducting the check, and the individual being checked. It is important for all parties to handle the information provided on the form with confidentiality and to process it in accordance with applicable regulations and policies.
An application example for the DA Form 1144 would be when a security clearance is required for an individual to access sensitive information or perform certain duties within the Department of Army. By filling out this form, the appropriate authorities can initiate a background check and review the individual's dossier or index to determine their eligibility for the clearance.
An alternative form to the DA Form 1144 is the Form SF-86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions. While both forms can be used to conduct background checks, the DA Form 1144 is specifically tailored for use within the Department of Army, while the Form SF-86 is used by various government agencies for similar purposes.
