Enforcement
Passport Denial/Revocation Project
Systemic Certification
Federal Regulation  Balance = $2,500.00
IL Release  Balance must = $0.00
Release: Systemic or Manual
Systemic  No manual referrals, it’s automatic, semi-monthly reporting to the Federal OCSE
Federal Regulation determines when the individual is submitted for denial. State policy determines when the individual is eligible for release. IL is zero tolerance & requires past due principal balance paid in full…$0.00.
In IL, interest does not have to be paid in full for passport release
**In many states, passport enforcement is county based, we are fortunate that in IL PSP enf is centralized.
