VI. Illustrative Example of Significant Achievement

Illustrative Example

Passport Services

The Department integrated the U.S. Marshals database (Warrants Information Network (WIN)) of individuals subject to outstanding federal warrants of arrest into the passport ?name check? system. Over two dozen arrests of federal fugitives have been made as a result of WIN hits.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has partnered with the Department?s Passport Services on the passport denial program. The HHS/Passport Services partnership was quite successful again this year. Using HHS information on individuals who have fallen behind on child support payments, the Department denies passport issuance when these individuals request passport services until such obligations are met. As a result, the HHS Child Support Assistance program collected over $7,000,000 in arrearages directly due to the passport denial program. The reported lump sum collections since the program?s inception in June 1998 totals approximately $27,000,000.

The Department?s Charleston, South Carolina Center began operations in April 2000, and handles passport applications from all 50 States as well as from American embassies and consulates overseas. With a staff of 175, the Center has issued 3.5 million passports since it opened. The new photodigitized books produced by Passport Services have greatly enhanced U.S. border security.
