Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The information collected on the DS– 

82 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. 

The DS–82 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 (EO) 

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 part 50 and 51.
