Jim Bob Duggar has a rigorous vetting process for any man hoping to 'court' his daughters – including a 50-page questionnaire.

The existence of the questionnaire was revealed on Tuesday's episode of Counting On: The After Show prompting Jessa Duggar to laugh about the grueling process.

'I'm sorry, wait a second Jim Bob made you guys fill out questionnaires?' balked show producer Scott Enlow during the season two recap.

'He is not kidding,' confirmed Jill Duggar, 25

'I got sent a 50-page questionnaire, I sent it back at 105 pages,' said Jeremy Vuolo who recently became Jinger Duggar's fiancé.

'The major question, where I spent most of my time was ''tell me about how you became a Christian, how you came to the Lord'',' he added.

'I think that questionnaire is pretty thorough,' chimed in Jessa, who noted the quiz has different sections, including a division pertaining to the men's personal finances.

Big laugh: Jessa got a chuckle out of her father's rigorous vetting process

For real: Jill insisted that her father was not kidding about the questionnaire

The producer: Counting On producer Scott Enlow asked the Duggar children and their significant others questoins during the season two recap

The pious siblings reported that the 51-year-old Duggar patriarch introduced the test after Jessa and Ben Seewald got together.

The test began at 30 pages, but was increased to 50 over time.

Despite already being in the family Ben was made to fill out the forms retroactively.

Fond memories: Ben and Jeremy Vuolo listened as Derick Dillard recounted his dealing with Jim Bob while courting Jill

'I had already passed inspection, so to speak, but this was something he wanted to start doing in the future,' explained Ben, 21.

'Everybody did the 30-page questionnaire,' laughed Jessa, 23, who is pregnant with her second child.

'That's how pops was doing it from here on out,' she added.

Baby on board: Jessa was expecting her second child on the episode

The men were also required to ask permission before spending time with the Duggar girls.

'It can be very intimidating,' said Jeremy who will technically be required to be chaperoned by Duggar family members until he marries Jinger.

'There's this feeling in the pit of your stomach like ''what if he just turns the tables and says 'no','' he added during the TLC reality show.

Major moment: Jeremy recalled meeting with hungry Jim Bob while seeking permission to court Jinger

Good luck: Jill and Derick watched footage of Jim Bob and Jeremy together

Jeremy and Jinger broke Duggar protocol by insisting on being able to hug and hold hands during their courtship process.

'It means a lot, to have your arm around someone, that's how we express affection,' explained Jeremy, a former soccer player turned pastor.

'We have a clean conscience, as long as it's not leading into impurity with one another,' he continued.

Getting emotional: Jeremy talked about their relationship as Jinger wiped away tears

'We've set those guidelines according to God's word…and ultimately that means keeping the marriage bed undefiled,' Jeremy said.

During the show Jill noted that she had been trying for another baby with her husband Derick Dillard.

'But I'm not pregnant yet,' she sighed.

Not yet: Jill said she and Derick were trying to have another baby but she wasn't pregnant yet
