Abstract: The collected information will be used to support entry of a minor's name into the Department's Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program on behalf of concerned U.S. parents or their appointed agents, who are asking the Department to notify them of any application for issuance or renewal of a passport for their children. The program is particularly aimed at circumstances in which one parent is concerned about abduction of his/her children abroad by the other parent. The program will provide a means of notification to a parent if a passport has already been issued or if the Dept. has received an application for issuance or renewal.
