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

Requirements for Collecting Passport Numbers in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania law does not have a specific provision that addresses the collection of passport numbers from participants. However, there are several laws that regulate the collection of personal information in Pennsylvania.

Under 43 PACO Section 1.12, personal information relating to participants in veterans’ programs shall be safeguarded and shall not be subject to public release except as provided in this chapter. Information that does not identify a particular participant or participants need not be safeguarded.

Additionally, 4 PACS 1802 requires submission of fingerprints and photographs by appointees, employees, and prospective employees engaged in the service of the commissions or the board and applicants under this part. Fingerprints and photographs obtained pursuant to this part may be maintained by the commissions, the board, and the Pennsylvania State Police for use pursuant to this part and for general law enforcement purposes.

However, there is no specific law that requires the collection of passport numbers from participants.

Therefore, if you plan to collect passport numbers from participants in Pennsylvania, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that you comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
