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

Based on the context documents, it is not clear whether you can collect passport numbers from participants in Indiana. However, Indiana law requires an individual to present valid documentary evidence of their legal status in the United States when applying for an identification card [4.3]. The application for an identification card must contain the full legal name, date of birth, gender, height, weight, hair color, eye color, principal address, mailing address, and a valid Social Security number or verification of an applicant’s ineligibility to be issued a Social Security number and identity and lawful status [4.1].

Indiana law prohibits state agencies from requiring individuals to provide their Social Security number to the state agency against the individual’s will, absent federal requirements to the contrary [3.1]. Additionally, Indiana governmental entities may not issue or require an immunization passport, except for maintaining, creating, or storing a medical record of an individual’s immunization status, providing a medical record of an individual’s immunization status to the individual’s medical provider in accordance with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), providing the individual with a record of an immunization at the time the individual receives the immunization or upon request by the individual, and maintaining an immunization record for the purpose of public health administration [1.2].

Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to determine whether collecting passport numbers is permissible under Indiana law.
