NOFORN marking on a document restricts dissemination to which group?

• A. Foreign nationals
• B. Domestic government employees
• C. Contractor personnel
• D. All U.S. citizens

Answer: (A)

NOFORN means No Foreign Dissemination. A document with this marking cannot be released to foreign nationals—non-U.S. persons. The purpose is to prevent sharing with individuals outside the United States. So the group that NOFORN restricts dissemination to (i.e., the group that cannot receive the material) is foreign nationals. Recipients within the U.S., such as domestic government employees, contractor personnel, or U.S. citizens, may receive it if authorized.
