Which piece of information is not listed as required on an EAL?

• A. Date of birth
• B. Name
• C. Clearance level
• D. Dates of visit

Answer: (A)

Date of birth is not listed as required on an EAL. The purpose of an Entry Authorization List is to verify who is allowed in, what level of access they have, and when they are authorized to be there. A person’s name identifies them on the roster, the clearance level confirms they meet the security requirements for the area, and the dates of visit set the time frame during which access is permitted. Date of birth isn’t needed to make those access decisions and is often avoided to protect privacy and avoid unnecessary data collection. In practice, identity is typically checked against a photo ID or badge, which provides the necessary verification without recording birth dates.
