Abstract of Proposed Collection
Form DS–10, 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 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
providing a birth certificate showing the
applicant was born in the United States.
Some applicants, however, may have
been born in the United States (and
subject to its jurisdiction), 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 never having 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 form DS–10, Birth
Affidavit is completed at the time a
person applies for a U.S. passport.
Florence Fultz,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Passport Services.
