There are only options to put information for two people on the applications. With divorced parents who are remarried, who would I put?

I'm not sure there's a wrong answer to this one! In your shoes, I would list my biological parents, unless one of your step-parents has been made your legal guardian. Assuming that you are over 18, guardianship probably isn't an issue, so just list your parents.

Then again, for some people in the position you describe, they have no relationship with one or the other married couple. Maybe they were raised by Dad and Stepmom, and have little contact with Mom and Stepdad. In that case, that person might be more comfortable listing the pair that they were raised by and are close to.

Let honesty and transparency be your guidelines. As long as you are not trying to deceive and are answering the question honestly, you can't go wrong.
