Abstract of proposed collection: The 

Birth Affidavit is submitted in 

conjunction with an application for a 

U.S. passport, and is used by Passport 

Services to collect information for the 

purpose of establishing the U.S. 

nationality of a passport applicant who 

has not submitted an acceptable United 

States birth certificate with his/her 

passport application. The Secretary of 

State is authorized to issue U.S. 

passports under 22 U.S.C. 211a et seq, 

8 U.S.C. 1104, and Executive Order 

11295 (August 5, 1966). Pursuant to 22 

CFR 51.2, only U.S. nationals may be 

issued a U.S. passport. Most passport 

applicants show U.S. nationality by 

providing a birth certificate showing the 

applicant was born in the United States. 

Some applicants, however, may have 

been born in the United States, but were 

never issued a birth certificate. Form 

DS–10 is a form affidavit for completion 

by a witness to the birth of such an 

applicant; it collects information 

relevant to establishing the identity of 

the affiant, and the birth circumstances 

of the passport applicant. If credible, the 

affidavit may permit the applicant to 

show U.S. nationality based on the 

applicant’s birth in the United States, 

despite having never been issued a U.S. 

birth certificate. We use the information 

collected on the person completing the 

affidavit to confirm that individual’s 

identity, which is relevant to confirming 

his or her relationship to the applicant 

and the likelihood that the affiant has 

actual knowledge of the circumstances 

of the applicant’s birth. 

Methodology: When needed, a Birth 

Affidavit is completed at the time a U.S. 

citizen applies for a U.S. passport.
