Can I collect passport numbers from participants in Arizona? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it is not clear whether you can collect passport numbers from participants in Arizona. However, there are restrictions on the use of personal identifying information, including social security numbers, and the withdrawal of certification for passport denial in certain circumstances.

Restrictions on Personal Identifying Information

According to AZRS 44-1373, a person or entity shall not intentionally communicate or otherwise make an individual’s social security number available to the general public. Additionally, printing an individual’s social security number on any card required for the individual to receive products or services provided by the person or entity is prohibited. Furthermore, requiring the transmission of an individual’s social security number over the internet unless the connection is secure or the social security number is encrypted is not allowed. Requiring the use of an individual’s social security number to access an internet web site, unless a password or unique personal identification number or other authentication device is also required to access the site, is also prohibited. Finally, printing a number that the person or entity knows to be an individual’s social security number on any materials that are mailed to the individual, unless state or federal law requires the social security number to be on the document to be mailed, is not allowed.

Withdrawal of Certification for Passport Denial

According to AZAC Section R6-7-405, the Title IV-D Agency shall notify OCSE to withdraw certification for passport denial for an obligor if one or more of the following applies:

  1. The Title IV-D Agency makes a final determination during an administrative review that: a. The case does not meet the criteria for passport denial in R6-7-402; or b. There has been a mistake regarding the identity of the obligor;
  2. The obligor has paid the arrearage down to: a. An amount less than the amount that qualifies for certification under federal statute, and has entered into a payment agreement with the Title IV-D Agency; or b. Zero; or c. An amount agreed to by the Title IV-D Agency, if the arrearage is owed to both the state and the obligee, provided the obligor agrees to and complies with any other terms required by the Title IV-D Agency, and the provisions of R6-7-405(B).

Licensing Eligibility and Authorized Presence

According to AZRS 41-1080, an agency or political subdivision of Arizona shall not issue a license to an individual if the individual does not provide documentation of citizenship or alien status by presenting any of the following documents to the agency or political subdivision indicating that the individual’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law:

  1. An Arizona driver license issued after 1996 or an Arizona nonoperating identification license.
  2. A driver license issued by a state that verifies lawful presence in the United States.
  3. A birth certificate or delayed birth certificate issued in any state, territory or possession of the United States.
  4. A United States certificate of birth abroad.
  5. A United States passport.
  6. A foreign passport with a United States visa.
  7. An I-94 form with a photograph.
  8. A United States citizenship and immigration services employment authorization document or refugee travel document.
  9. A United States certificate of naturalization.
  10. A United States certificate of citizenship.
  11. A tribal certificate of Indian blood.
  12. A tribal or bureau of Indian affairs affidavit of birth.
  13. Any other license that is issued by the federal government, any other state government, an agency of this state or a political subdivision of this state that requires proof of citizenship or lawful alien status before issuing the license.
