Abstract of proposed collection: The 

DS–11 solicits data necessary for 

Passport Services to issue a United 

States passport (book and/or card 

format) in the exercise of authorities 

granted to the Secretary of State in 22 

United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 

211a et seq. and Executive Order (E.O.) 

11295 (August 5, 1966) for the issuance 

of passports to U.S. nationals. 

The issuance of U.S. passports 

requires the determination of identity, 

nationality, and entitlement with 

reference to the provisions of Title III of 

the Immigration and Nationality Act 

(INA) (8 U.S.C. sections 1401–1504), the 

14th Amendment to the Constitution of 

the United States, other applicable 

treaties and laws, and implementing 

regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51. 

The specific regulations pertaining to 

the Application for a U.S. Passport are 

at 22 CFR 51.20 through 51.28. 

Methodology: The information 

collected on the DS–11 is used to 

facilitate the issuance of passports to 

U.S. citizens and nationals. The primary 

purpose of soliciting the information is 

to establish citizenship, identity, and 

entitlement to the issuance of the U.S. 

passport or related service, and to 

properly administer and enforce the 

laws pertaining to the issuance thereof. 

Passport Services collects information 

from U.S. citizens and non-citizen 

nationals when they complete and 

submit the Application for a U.S. 

Passport. Passport applicants can either 

download the DS–11 from the internet 

or obtain one from an Acceptance 

Facility/Passport Agency. The form 

must be completed and executed at an 

acceptance facility or passport agency, 

and submitted with evidence of 

citizenship and identity. 

Additional Information: In addition to 

general format changes, the following 

content changes have been made to the 

form: 

• Page 1 Instructions—The following 

heading and section were moved from 

page 3 to page 1 and have been revised 

to now read: 

Æ LOST OR STOLEN—You are 

required to submit a Form DS–64, 

Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen 

Passport, when your valid or potentially 

valid U.S. Passport book or U.S. 

Passport card cannot be submitted with 

this application. 

Æ IN MY POSSESSION—If your most 

recent passport book and/or passport 

card was issued less than 15 years ago 

and you were over the age of 16 at the 

time of issuance, you may be eligible to 

use Form DS–82 to renew your passport 

by mail. If your most recent passport is 

valid and needs additional pages, you 

can submit your passport, form DS– 

4085 and the current fee. 

• Page 1 Instructions—In the ‘‘Special 

Requirements For Children’’ section, ‘‘If 

Only One Parent Appears * * *’’, the

added between the words ‘‘parent’s’’ 

and ‘‘identification’’. 

• Page 2 Instructions—Under the 

heading ‘‘1. Proof of Citizenship’’, first 

section, the word ‘‘Country’’ in the last

Identity Theft! * * *’’, the statement,

book or passport card and the Form DS– 

64, your eligibility to submit a Form 

DS–82 or how to request additional visa 

pages, call NPIC at 1–877–487–2778 or 

visit travel.state.gov’’. 

• Page 3 Instructions—At the bottom 

of the page, added a new heading and 

section: ‘‘Special Notice to U.S. Passport 

Card Applicants Only’’, regarding the 24 

character name limit. 

• Page 1 Form—In the photo box, the

photograph’’ have been replaced with

Plans’’ has been renumbered as Line 

Item 18. Also, the words ‘‘Date of Trip’’ 

have been replaced with ‘‘Departure 

Date’’, and the words ‘‘Duration of Trip’’ 

have been replaced with ‘‘Return Date’’. 

• Page 2 Form—Line Item 18 

‘‘Permanent Address’’ has been 

renumbered as Line Item 19. 

• Page 2 Form, under the heading, 

‘‘PLEASE DO NOT WRITE BELOW 

THIS LINE—FOR ISSUING OFFICE 

ONLY’’, the following changes have 

occurred: 

Æ The ‘‘checkbox’’ and words ‘‘Sole 

Parent’’ have been deleted. 

Æ Beside ‘‘Report of Birth’’, the 

numbers ‘‘240’’, ‘‘545’’, and ‘‘1350’’ 

have been deleted. 

Æ The ‘‘DS–60’’ checkbox has been 

replaced with ‘‘IRL’’. 

The Department estimates that these 

changes will not result in an increase in 

the current burden time of 85 minutes.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

Under 22 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

Section 211a et seq. and Executive 

Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), the 

Secretary of State has authority to issue 

U.S. passports to U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals. When the bearer of a 

valid U.S. passport applies for the 

addition of visa pages to that passport, 

the Department must confirm the 

applicant’s identity and eligibility to 

receive passport services before the 

Department can return the passport to 

the applicant with additional visa pages. 

Form DS–4085 requests information that 

is necessary to determine whether the 

applicant is eligible to receive passport 

services in accordance with the 

requirements of Title III of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) 

(U.S.C. sections 1402–1504), the 

regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51, 

and other applicable authorities. 

Methodology 

Passport Services collects information 

from U.S. citizens and non-citizen 

nationals when they complete and 

submit the Application for Additional 

Visa Pages or Miscellaneous Passport 

Services. Passport applicants can either 

download the DS–4085 from the 

internet or obtain one from an 

Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. 

The form must be completed, signed, 

and submitted along with the 

applicant’s valid U.S. passport. 

Additional Information 

In addition to general format changes, 

the following content changes have been 

made to the form. 

• Page 1 Form—Under Line Item 15, 

Travel Plans: The words ‘‘Date of Trip’’ 

have been replaced with ‘‘Departure 

Date’’ and the words ‘‘Duration of Trip’’ 

have been replaced with ‘‘Return Date’’. 

• Page 1 Form—In the first signature 

block, ‘‘Applicant’s Signature—age 16 

and older’’, the word ‘‘Legal’’ has been 

added before ‘‘Signature’’. 

• Page 1 Form—The second signature 

block ‘‘Parent’s/Legal Guardian’s 

Signature (if identifying minor)’’ has 

been revised to now read ‘‘Mother/ 

Father/Parent/Legal Guardian’s 

Signature (if identifying minor)’’. 

The Department estimates that these 

changes will not result in an increase in 

the current burden time of 20 minutes.
