Abstract of proposed collection: The
Department of State uses Form DS–1648
to elicit information necessary to
ascertain the applicability of the legal
requirements for applicants for a
renewal of A, G, or NATO visas. The
information requested is limited to that

eligibility of applicants who seek
renewal of their visas. An estimated
20,000 renewal applications are filed
each year.
Methodology: Applicants complete
this form using an online application
available on the Department’s Web site,
https://www.travel.state.gov. The
applicant then prints the application
and a bar code is printed at the bottom
of the form. The bar code is an
electronic capture of the information
provided by the applicant. The
application is then submitted by mail to
the Department. The Department scans
the bar code on the application to
retrieve the information electronically.
Applicants are not allowed to submit
handwritten or typed forms with
printed bar codes.
