OMB 1405-0232
The collection of the information requested on the DS-1838 and DS-7783 is necessary for all Department non-employees who need a PIV. They are required to submit an application for a Personal Identification Card (DS-1838 domestically or DS-7783 overseas) at the time of hire. The information collected on the form is necessary to verify personal identity as required by the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD 12). Employees must also use these forms, but the Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply to them; therefore, their numbers are not counted in this request.
The latest form for Request for Department of State Personal Identification Card expires 2029-09-30 and is listed under ICR 202601-1405-004.
