Secure, private, and compliant PDS builder documentation
Quick reference for students, graduates, and professionals preparing the Personal Data Sheet (CSC Form 212) for government applications, appointments, promotions, contract renewals, employee record updates, and personnel file compliance.
Account and sign-in
You do not need an account to fill, preview, or download the basic PDS PDF. Sign in when you want to save your profile to your account. Sign-in is handled through Clerk; use Clerk's recovery flows from the sign-in page if you lose access.
Saving your PDS
Work through each section in the app. Free drafts stay in this browser through local storage when available. After signing in, Save Draft or Verify & Save persists your profile to our database so you can continue later from your account.
Preview and PDF export
The Review PDF area generates a preview from your current data. Download export is included in the free workflow and uses the data currently in your draft. Generated PDFs follow the CSC Form 212 field layout for applications, HR updates, and personnel files. Always review the file yourself before submitting it to any agency or HR office.
Smart Import (optional)
You may upload a PDF resume or an existing fillable PDS to suggest values for your workspace. Fillable PDS fields are read directly. Resume text may be processed with Google Gemini to map into PDS-shaped data. Results are imperfect—treat them as a starting point and correct every field against your official records.
