The primary purpose for soliciting this information is to validate an identity claim for a U.S. Passport book or passport Card in the narrow category of cases in which the evidence presented by an applicant is insufficient to establish identity. The information may also be used in adjudicating application or other travel documents and services, and in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, border security, counter terrorism, litigation activities, and administrative purposes.
US Code:
8 USC 1201-1503
Name of Law: Immigration and Nationality Act
The program reflects a steep decrease in respondentâs use of this form from 82,347 to 21,891. This can be attributed to better and increased usage of backend databases that specialists use to verify an applicantâs identity, eliminating the need, in most cases, to send the particular IRLs that would include the DS-5520.
