    "fill in" ist meines Wissens britisches Englisch, "fill out" amerikanisches

    (So findest du es übrigens auch im Leo-Wörterbuch ;-)

    Both are possible. I believe there is a slight AE/BE difference. But either will do fine and will be understood.

    AE: "Please fill out this form. Be certain to fill in all the blanks."

    You can also fill in a form, but you can't fill out blanks.
