Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The Affidavit of Identifying Witness, Form DS-0071, is used by the 
Department of State in making a determination of the applicant's 
eligibility to be documented as a citizen or a non-citizen national of 
the United States. The form is used by Acceptance Agents and Consular 
Officers to collect information for the purpose of establishing the 
identity of a passport applicant who has not submitted adequate 
evidence with his/her passport application. The primary purpose for 
soliciting the information is to establish identity and entitlement to 
issuance of a United States passport, and to properly administer and 
enforce the laws pertaining to issuance thereof. Lack of identity 
information may result in the application for a United States passport 
being denied. Inaccurate identity evidence could possibly result in 
issuance of a passport to a non-U.S. citizen or to someone using an 
assumed identity.

Methodology

    The Affidavit of Identifying Witness, Form DS-0071, is used in 
conjunction with the Application for a U.S. Passport, Form DS-0011. 
This affidavit is required to be included with a passport application 
only when the applicant for a passport is unable to establish his or 
her identity to the satisfaction of a person authorized to accept 
passport applications. The identifying witness must complete and sign 
this form in the presence of the person authorized to accept passport 
applications.
