Which form is the Confidential Source Registration Form?

• A. USM-301
• B. USM-302
• C. USM-311
• D. USM-559

Answer: (D)

Registering a confidential source requires a form devoted to capturing the essential details and safeguards of that relationship. USM-559 is the form designed for this purpose. It formalizes the registration of a confidential source, documenting who the source is (to the extent allowed), the type of information they will provide, the level of confidentiality, supervision requirements, and the terms of engagement. Having this specific form ensures proper documentation, accountability, and protection for both the source and the operation, in line with policy. The other forms are used for different administrative steps in informant management and do not serve as the official confidential source registration document.
