The information collected on the
DS-4283 is used to facilitate the issuance of passports to U.S.
nationals with imminent travel plans who hire private courier
companies to deliver their applications to one of the Department’s
domestic passport agencies. The Department asks courier company
employees to complete the DS-4283 and submit the form with passport
applications delivered in bulk to passport agencies in a designated
drop-off box. Passport agencies use the form to track the
submission of applications that a courier drops off. The form
serves as a record of receipt of documents submitted to the
Department and as an acknowledgment of who delivered these
documents. The DS-4283 is part of a Department effort to facilitate
the delivery of passport applications by private courier companies
while maintaining the integrity of the passport application
process.
