applicant's

Belonging to petitioner

Applicant's is the possessive form of applicant—a person who applies for something, typically a job, program, or benefit.

The possessive indicates something belonging to or associated with that person: the applicant's résumé, the applicant's qualifications, review the applicant's references.

Forms often ask for the applicant's signature or the applicant's date of birth.
