Disclosure is required in different contexts, such as real estate transactions and employment law, and is primarily governed by state laws, which vary by state.

In employment law for example, persons applying for certain jobs, such as working with children or elderly persons, must disclose if they have criminal convictions. In many instances, the duty to disclose is a continuing one, so that a supplemental disclosure must be made to provide additional information when information originally disclosed is determined to be incomplete or inaccurate.

In real estate, disclosure of hazardous or defective conditions is regulated by state law. The law usually requires that potential buyers be told all material facts about the condition of a property for sale.
