NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS APPLYING OUTSIDE A STATE DEPARTMENT FACILITY

If you send us a check, it will be converted into an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account

information on it to electronically debit your account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually occur within 24 hours,

and will be shown on your regular account statement.

You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but we will keep the copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed

for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient

funds, we may try to make the transfer up to two times, and we will charge you a one-time fee of $25, which we will also collect by EFT.

REMITTANCE OF FEES

Passport service fees are established by law and regulation (see 22 U.S.C. 214, 22 C.F.R. 22.1, and 22 C.F.R. 51.50-56), and are collected at the

time you apply for the passport service. If the Department fails to receive full payment of the applicable fees because, for example, your check is

returned for any reason or you dispute a passport fee charge to you credit card, the U.S. Department of State will take action to collect the

delinquent fees from you under 22 C.F.R. Part 34, and the Federal Claims Collection Standards (see 31 C.F.R. Parts 900-904). In accordance with

the Debt Collection Improvement Act (Pub.L. 104-134), if the fees remain unpaid after 180 days and no repayment arrangements have been made,

the Department will refer the debt to the U.S. Department of Treasury for collection. Debt collection procedures used by U.S. Department of

Treasury may include referral of the debt to private collection agencies, reporting of the debt to credit bureaus, garnishment of private wages and

administrative offset of the debt by reducing, or withholding eligible federal payments (e.g., tax refunds, social security payments, federal

retirement, etc.) by the amount of your debt, including any interest penalties or other costs incurred. In addition, non-payment of passport fees may

result in the invalidation of your passport. An invalidated passport cannot be used for travel.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO APPLICANTS WHO HAVE LOST OR HAD A PREVIOUS U.S. PASSPORT BOOK

AND/OR U.S. PASSPORT CARD STOLEN

A United States citizen may not normally bear more than one valid or potentially valid U.S. passport book or more than one valid or potentially valid

U.S. passport card at a time. Therefore, when a valid or potentially valid U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card cannot be presented with a new

application, it is necessary to submit a Form DS-64, Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen U.S. Passport. Your statement must detail why the

previous U.S.passport book or U.S. passport card cannot be presented.

The information you provide regarding your lost or stolen U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card will be placed into our Consular Lost or Stolen

Passport System. This system is designed to prevent the misuse of your lost or stolen U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card. Anyone using the

U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card reported as lost or stolen may be detained upon entry into the United States. Should you locate the U.S.

passport book or U.S. passport card reported lost or stolen at a later time, report it as found, and submit it for cancellation. It has been invalidated.

You may not use that U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card for travel.
