Instructions for Completing the Virginia DSS Background Check Form

• Divorced Applicants: If you are divorced, you must select "Divorced" and provide your former spouse’s information in the required fields.

• Spouse’s Maiden Name: If applicable, enter either “NMN” (No Middle Name) or the spouse’s actual birth last name if they had a name change.

• Unacceptable Responses: The following responses will not be accepted and will result in delays or rejection of your background check:
