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

Based on the information provided in the context documents, you can collect passport numbers from participants in Oklahoma only if you are obtaining an Oklahoma Identity Theft Passport. To be eligible for an Oklahoma Identity Theft Passport, a person must have obtained either an Order for Expungement and Sealing of Records pursuant to Sections 18 and 19 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes on grounds that the person has been charged or arrested or is the subject of an arrest warrant for a crime that was committed by another person who has appropriated or used the person’s name or other identification without the person’s consent or authorization, or an Order for Expungement and Sealing of Records pursuant to 22 Oklahoma Statutes, Section 19a from a court that dismissed a charge against the person on such grounds. Alternatively, a person may be eligible for an Oklahoma Identity Theft Passport if the person has filed an Identity Theft Report with a federal, state, or local law enforcement agency and an Identity Theft Affidavit with supporting documentation to one or more consumer reporting agencies [1.7].

If you are collecting passport numbers for the purpose of obtaining an Oklahoma Identity Theft Passport, you must meet the eligibility requirements outlined above and follow the submission requirements outlined in OAC Rule 375: 40-1-5 [1.3]. The Identity Theft Passport Unit will create an Identity Theft Passport Card stating whether the passport was issued on the basis of an Order for Expungement or an Identity Theft Report and Affidavit. The card will contain the victim’s name, address, birthdate, sex, race, height, weight, hair and eye color, the passport number and date issued [1.2].

It is important to note that the Oklahoma Identity Theft Passport shall be used only for law enforcement purposes, including determining the accuracy of criminal background checks by a law enforcement agency and similar public safety purposes. All other uses are prohibited. Financial institutions and other private entities are advised that presentation of the Oklahoma Identity Theft Passport to private individuals or entities is not authorized [1.1].

Therefore, if you are collecting passport numbers for purposes other than law enforcement or public safety, it is not authorized.
