However, to ensure Volunteers’ safety and security, the Peace Corps requires all Volunteers to utilize their U.S. passport during service. Before applying to a country in which you have dual citizenship (including nationality bestowed by place of birth), please carefully research any restrictions that may preclude you from service in that country.

Legal History

The existence of an arrest or conviction record will not automatically exclude you from consideration for Peace Corps service. When evaluating an arrest or conviction, the Peace Corps considers the nature of the offense, how long ago the offense occurred, whether you were acquitted of the offense, and other relevant facts or indications of rehabilitation. If you are ultimately rejected for a Peace Corps Volunteer position because of an arrest or conviction, you can request a review of the decision and/or reapply at a later date.

For more information go to peacecorps.gov/legalinfo.

It is your responsibility to inform the Peace Corps promptly throughout the application process, up through the start of service, of all new arrests, charges, citations, misdemeanors, and felonies (including ALL drug- or alcohol-related legal incidents) and any other changes to the information provided below, including the disposition of existing offenses.

Drug and Alcohol Policy

During Application

An applicant with any drug-related conviction or with a conviction for public intoxication, driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI), with a conviction for reckless driving after having been initially charged with DUI or DWI, or who has a similar alcohol-related conviction, will not have his or her application for Peace Corps service considered until 12 months has passed from the date of the incident. The Peace Corps may deem an applicant unsuitable for Peace Corps service due to drug abuse, problem drinking, and/or alcohol abuse.

An applicant who, at any time on or prior to the day of departure for Peace Corps service, is arrested for any drug offense or for public intoxication, DUI, DWI, or any similar alcohol-related offense will have any pending application or invitation for Peace Corps service withdrawn. If the charges are dismissed, an applicant whose application or invitation for Peace Corps service was terminated may immediately reapply. If the applicant is convicted of the offense, he or she may reapply after 12 months from the date of the incident.

During Peace Corps Service

Peace Corps has a zero tolerance policy regarding a Volunteer’s or Trainee’s involvement with drugs. Involvement with drugs includes, but is not limited to, the direct sale, distribution, acquisition, purchase, possession, smuggling, and use of illicit drugs, including marijuana, and any drug not authorized by the Peace Corps for medical purposes. A Volunteer or Trainee found to be involved with drugs in a manner not authorized for medical purposes, in any way in any country, will be administratively separated immediately. The Peace Corps enforces this strict policy not only because the cultivation, manufacture, traffick, and use of drugs, including marijuana, is illegal in most countries, but also because drug involvement by Volunteers and Trainees in any country could seriously jeopardize an entire Peace Corps country program, as well as the safety and health of other Volunteers and Trainees. Moreover, it is a violation of the trust Peace Corps has placed in Volunteers and Trainees upon their selection and entry into public service. Applicants are required to sign the Peace Corps Drug Free Service Agreement reflecting this policy. Any applicant who fails to sign this agreement will not receive further consideration.



The Peace Corps recognizesthat excessive use of alcohol, including binge drinking, may compromise Volunteer and Trainee health, safety and security, lead to behavior that discredits the Peace Corps or the individual Volunteer or Trainee, or affect the Volunteer’s or Trainee’s performance in an assignment. Examples of such behavior include, but are not limited to: public intoxication, drinking while at a work site, failure to appear for work or training due to intoxication or hangovers, and verbal or physical aggressiveness while under the influence of alcohol. Such inappropriate or unsafe behavior or inability to perform adequately in the assignment may be grounds for disciplinary action, including administrative separation. Volunteers and Trainees who choose to drink are responsible for their conduct at all times; and must always consider host country laws and culture and the effects of their conduct on their service and the in-country program.

I confirm that I have read the Peace Corps Drug and Alcohol Policy.

  • Yes


Have you been cited for, arrested, charged with, or convicted of any drug or alcohol related offense in the last five years?

  • Yes

  • No

Intelligence Background

The Peace Corps has a longstanding policy excluding individuals who have engaged in intelligence activity or related work or who have been employed by or connected with an intelligence agency from Peace Corps Volunteer service, either for a specific period of time or permanently, depending on the agency. For more information, including definitions of “intelligence activity” and “intelligence agency,” visit peacecorps.gov/legalinfo.

If you are a current or former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), you are permanently ineligible for Peace Corps Volunteer service. If you are currently or were formerly employed by another intelligence agency, you are ineligible for Peace Corps Volunteer service for at least 10 years from the end date of such employment. In addition, you may be disqualified for service because your background or history discloses a substantial connection with an intelligence activity or related work other than through employment. Even family relationships to an employee of an intelligence agency may be considered a disqualifying connection. The duration of the disqualification will ordinarily not exceed 10 years and will depend on the nature of your involvement in or relationship to intelligence activities or agencies.

You should also be aware that, if you serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer, you may be ineligible for employment with U.S. government intelligence agencies for a specified period following your service as a Volunteer.

If you or an immediate family member works for or has worked for the CIA or the National Security Agency, go to peacecorps.gov/legalinfo for further instructions before answering the question below. 

In all other cases, if you indicate that either you or a family member has been employed by or connected with an intelligence agency, or engaged in intelligence activity or related work, a Peace Corps representative will contact you after your application is submitted to obtain additional information and determine your eligibility for Peace Corps Volunteer service.

*Have you or an immediate family member ever been employed by or connected with an intelligence agency, or engaged in intelligence activity or related work?
