Information required to conduct an LEADS check includes: full name, driver’s license number, and/or social security number, date of birth of the person entering the installation, and completion of a background check questionnaire. The contractor shall provide this information using the Scott AFB Form 21, Contractors Consent for Background Check, and shall submit it in conjunction with the contractor’s request for either base or vehicle passes.
