DEFINITIONS FOR BIOGRAPHIC DATA SHEET

LEGAL OR VOTING RESIDENCE (Item 12)

Give address, city and state which you claim as a legal or voting residence. If you have a voting
residence this may be your legal residence for Federal employment purposes regardless of where you
live.

Legal residence is generally the place where a person has a home, church or other community affiliations.
Absence from the community affiliations. Absence from the community to work in the Federal
Government does not affect legal residence if you intend to return to the community. A married woman
acquires her husband's legal residence. She need not have resided in the State claimed.

Legal residence is used in the Foreign Service when nominations are submitted to the President for
promotion of a Foreign Service Office or Foreign Service Information Officer, when a Title or a
Commission is granted and in certain cases when nominations are submitted for appointment.

Legal residence is of interest to the Civil Service to assure a geographic balance of Federal employment.

RESIDENCE AT TIME OF APPOINTMENT

If such residence was of a temporary nature, for example for college, give the residence which you
consider your actual place of residence.

HOME LEAVE RESIDENCE

Give city and State where you intend to spend your home leave. This is used in the Foreign Service for
travel reimbursement purposes.

RESIDENCE FOR SERVICE SEPARATION

Give city and State to which you wish transportation and shipment of your effects on separating from the
Service. This designation is also used for reimbursement if death occurs while abroad or in travel status.
