GENTEXT RMKS/1. THIS MARADMIN IS THE SECOND IN A SERIES ON THIS
SUBJECT. THE ELECTRONIC QUESTIONNAIRES FOR INVESTIGATIONS PROCESSING
(E-QIP) HAS REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC PERSONNEL SECURITY
QUESTIONNAIRE SOFTWARE PROGRAM (EPSQ) AS OF 30 SEPTEMBER 2006.
THIS IS PART OF THE DOD-WIDE PAPERLESS OFFICE INITIATIVE.
2. A FURTHER EVOLUTION OF THE PAPERLESS OFFICE INITITIVE IS THE
UPLOAD OR FACSIMILE FEATURE WHICH WAS ENABLED 5 MARCH 2007. TO
PROCESS AN E-QIP INVESTIGATION INITIATED AFTER 4 MARCH 2007, THE
SIGNATURE PAGE, AUTHORIZATION FOR RELEASE OF INFORMATION AND
RELEASE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION MUST BE FAXED IN OR UPLOADED VIA
SCANNER.
3. THE DEFENSE SECURITY SERVICE HAS PROVIDED A TRAINING SLIDESHOW
WHICH DETAILS THE STEP BY STEP PROCESS FOR USING THE UPLOAD AND/OR
FACSIMILE FUNCTION. THE SLIDESHOW CAN BE FOUND ON THE JPAS
HOMEPAGE: HTTPS: (SLASH SLASH) JPAS.DSIS.DOD.MIL . IN ADDITION, AN
UPDATED E-QIP MANUAL CAN BE FOUND ON THE NAVY SECURITY WEBSITE
PROVIDED BELOW.
4. THE TRAINING SLIDESHOW COVERS THE BASICS OF THE FAX/UPLOAD
FUNCTION. THE FOL ARE SPECIFIC AREAS OF INTEREST AND/OR CONCERN:
A. THE FACSIMILE NUMBER FOR SIGNATURE PAGES/RELEASES IS
866-804-0686.
B. THE UPLOAD/SCAN FUNCTION IS THE PREFERRED METHOD.
C. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INVESTIGATION NUMBER ON THE
SIGNATURE PAGES/RELEASES MATCH THE INVESTIGATION NUMBER WITHIN
THE E-QIP. CHANGES MADE TO THE E-QIP BY THE APPLICANT WILL CREATE
A NEW INVESTIGATIVE NUMBER.
D. FACSIMILE COVERSHEETS ARE NOT NEEDED AND CREATE CONFUSION
IN THE PROCESSING OF THE INVESTIGATION.
E. REFRAIN FROM WRITING ANYTHING ADDITIONAL OR UNNECESSARY
ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES/RELEASES. THE SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE
SO ADDITIONAL NOTES OR MARKINGS MAY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN PROCESSING
THE FORMS.
F. IF INITIATING AN E-QIP INVESTIGATION WHILE USING JPAS ON
OR AFTER 4 MARCH 2007, THE FAX/UPLOAD FEATURE BECOMES MANDATORY.
HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE INITIATED THE INVESTIGATION PRIOR TO 5 MARCH
2007, YOU MAY STILL MAIL THE FORMS.
