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 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 U.S.C. 212 and 22 CFR
51.2, only U.S. nationals may be issued
a U.S. passport. Most passport
applicants show U.S. nationality by
PO 00000
Frm 00115
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
providing a birth certificate, filed within
a year of their birth, showing the
applicant was born in the United States
or outlying possession. Some
applicants, however, may have been
born in the United States or outlying
possession, but were never issued a
birth certificate, or have a late filed 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 or outlying possession, despite
never having been issued a birth
certificate or possessing a late filed 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
person applies for a U.S. passport.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport
Services, Bureau of Consular Affairs,
