The correct banner marking is: CUI (or CUI//<category> — e.g., CUI//SP-PRIVACY).
Explanation
- CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) is the proper banner marking for documents that contain CUI.
- Do not use legacy banners like
UNCLASSIFIED//FOUOorUNCLASSIFIED//CUI. - Place the banner at the top and bottom of each page (and use
CUIas the portion marking where appropriate). - You may append the CUI category or markings per the CUI Registry (for example
CUI//SP-PRIVACYfor privacy-designated CUI).
For exact wording and required handling instructions, follow your agency’s CUI policy and the NARA CUI Marking guidance.
