Non-U.S. Adults must use paper (PDF) applications.

Unit Leadership: When using paper (PDF) applications for an adult without a U.S. Social Security Number, please ensure that ALL required signatures are in place before submitting.  This will greatly reduce processing time.

All non-U.S. citizen applicants must:

1. Completely fill out all fields of the BSA ADULT APPLICATION. Please try to not leave any fields blank.
   • In the ‘Social Security
     Number’ field please enter “NON-US-CITZ”.
   • All initials, signatures, and dates are required.
     • The applicant’s certifying initials (x2)
     • The applicant’s signature
     • The signature of the
       Chartered Organization Representative – approving the adult
       to join the unit
2. Complete, sign and date the
   ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES & BACKGROUND CHECK AUTHORIZATION FORM found in the second half of the above application.
3. Provide a PDF copy of their Youth Protection Training (YPT) Certificate. Training is available on my.scouting.org

The unit must:

1. Conduct a telephone reference check to verify their identity and the information in their application.
   • Your unit should keep this on file for future reference.
   • Either confirm the completion of this check when submitting the application or a member of the council professional staff will contact you to verify that a member of your unit has conducted the reference check.
2. Determine how the National and Overseas Council fees are to be paid.  By either:
   • A Unit Deposit Account (UDA) debit, or
   • The individual paying directly to TAC using the following link:  SecurePay
3. Send all completed, signed, and dated documents; the telephone reference check confirmation; and the source of fee payment to your District Executive for processing.

INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTS cause delays.  Submit correct and complete forms please!
