Hi guys, I went to one police plaza today to request certificate of good conduct from nys since I live here and finger prints to send to the FBI fr a FBI clearance. I was given a sample of what to fill out on the FBI card (FD 258) and it didn't ask for allias AKA. However, there is the section for it. I had live scan done and the officer ask me to double check my info on the computer before she took my prints. I did and everything was fine and I signed to it.

Here is the problem, I have a nick name/calling name that hubby and my family and friends know me by. I didnt put the nickn name/ calling name on the FBI finger print card because the sample didnt highlight that section. Allmost all our evidence have my nickname/ calling name. Would CIC request another copy of FBI clearance if they see I use another name but its not included in the FBI clearance??? Help!!!!!

Ps. All my legal documents have my legal name. Most relationship evidence for example, birthday cards, Holiday presents, emails, what's app messages, Facebook posts and pictures etc have my nick name/calling name.

Pease help! Already feeling pressure and I didn't submit the application as yet!

If your 'nickname' is not a legal name, then don't worry about it. You should be using your legal name and I seriously doubt the FBI is going to have you on file as "pookybear", if you know what I mean ;) You can always attach an note identifying it as your 'nickname'.

My Husband was also in a similair situation as you. His legal name was different from the other names that showed in our evidence.

And I, like you, was worried that CIC would be confused and have an issue with it. So I simply attached an explanation stating that we call my husband by this name so to not be confused with it. We did not include his nickname on his FBI though (there is no need for that)

We are almost done with our application (COPR is being sent out soon) and CIC has never had a problem with his nickname. So don't worry about it. Just attach an explanation in your application package stating that you are often called by this nickname.

I hope that makes you feel better :)
