Your Security Clearance Expert

About Me   

My name is Dokun Akingbade, and I bring over 15+ years of hands-on federal level US government security clearance experience working with federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of State and the Department of Defense.  

Throughout my career, I’ve helped individuals and organizations successfully navigate the security clearance process—understanding requirements, avoiding costly mistakes, and responding effectively to government requests. My goal is to make a complex and often stressful process clear, structured, and manageable for every client.

Security Clearance FAQs

Why should I get a security clearance?

A security clearance is required to work with the federal government as a:

  • Civilian employee
  • Military service member
  • Government contractor

Clearances open the door to higher-paying positions, long-term career stability, and access to sensitive government projects.

How long does it take to get a clearance?

Timelines vary based on the level of clearance and individual circumstances. On average:

  • Secret clearance: several months
  • Top Secret clearance: 6–12 months or longer

Factors such as background complexity, foreign contacts, financial history, and investigation backlog can affect processing time.

What are the basic requirements to get a clearance?

Basic requirements typically include:

  • U.S. citizenship
  • A legitimate government or contractor sponsorship
  • A thorough background investigation
  • Financial responsibility and personal integrity
  • Honesty and accuracy throughout the process

Each case is unique, and eligibility is determined by the federal government – not the consultant.
