*The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a contains provisions
regarding the maintenance, collection, use, and dissemination of information
about United States citizens and aliens lawfully admitted for permanent
residence in the United States. The following information is provided in
accordance with subsection (e) (3) of the Privacy Act.
AUTHORITIES: The information is sought pursuant to Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations of 1961; Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of
1963; Diplomatic Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 254a-e); International Organizations
Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288e (a)); Foreign Missions Act of 1982 (22 U.S.C.
4301-4316) as amended.
PURPOSE: The information solicited on this form will be used to maintain a
record of all individuals actively working at foreign missions or international
organizations in the United States or its territories and who are entitled to a
range of diplomatic or consular benefits, privileges, and immunities. This
information is maintained by the Office of Foreign Missions at the U.S.
Department of State. The information is collected in order to (a) determine the
acceptability of a foreign person by the U.S. Department of State as a
diplomatic or consular officer of other international organization or foreign
government employee; (b) issue appropriate individuals an official identification
card; (c) register mission and personal vehicles and issue appropriate vehicle
registrations and license plates; (d) exempt certain individuals from sales taxes,
gasoline taxes, utility taxes, and drivers' license registration fees; and (f)
determine the eligibility of imported goods for exemption from duties otherwise
imposed by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. It is also used to
notify the State Department of the termination of diplomatic, consular, and
foreign employees.
Information on such individuals is submitted electronically directly into the
Foreign Diplomatic Services Application Database by accredited members of
the administrative staff at foreign missions or international organizations in the
United States, who have been given permission by the Office of Foreign
Missions to enter data into the database. Certain biographical and professional
information is collected from administrative staff in order for the State
Department to determine their eligibility to access and enter information into the
database.
