1. If the obligor applies for a new passport or to have a previously-issued passport renewed and is notified that the application has been denied for failure to pay child support, the obligor must contact ORS/CSS to get the passport released. The passport will be released if the obligor pays all past-due child support owing to the state IV-D Agency and/or obligee. 2. If the obligor's employment requires a valid passport or there are other extenuating circumstances that require the obligor to maintain a valid passport, an exception may be granted if: a. the case is IV-A - if the ORS or CSS Director approves an exception to the payment-in-full requirement. b. the case is non-IV-A: i. if the ORS or CSS Director approves an exception to the payment-in-full requirement; and, ii. if the child support is owed to the obligee, ORS/CSS is able to obtain written approval from the obligee to release the passport. |
