Abstract: The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) calls for the Secretary of Homeland Security, along with the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a plan that requires sufficient documentation of identity and citizenship to be shown when entering the United States. The requirement that requires sufficient documentation of identity and citizenship to be shown when entering the United States along with other socio-demographic variables has left the future demand for US passport products as undefined. The ambiguity of passport demand has resulted in Passport Services (CA/PPT) having an urgent need to obtain regular statistical data on issues that focuses on and are related to passport applications and travel. In support of these efforts, CA/PPT will conduct monthly forecasts of passport demand. The data gathered from the Passport Demand Forecasting Study will be used to monitor, assess, and forecast passport demand on a continuous basis.
