Title II of Public Law 110–457 is amended by adding at the end the following: Immediately after receiving confirmation from the United States Marshals Service’s National Sex Offender Targeting Center that a passport applicant is a covered sex offender, the Attorney General shall notify the Secretary of State, who shall take appropriate action in accordance with subsection (b). Except as provided under paragraph (2), the Secretary of State may not issue a passport or a passport card to a covered sex offender unless the passport or passport card contains a unique identifier.
Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a covered sex offender may reapply for a passport that does not include a unique identifier if the United States Marshals Service’s National Sex Offender Targeting Center confirms that the individual is no longer required to be listed on the applicable sex offender registry. In this section— the term covered sex offender has the meaning given the term in section 2 of the International Megan's Law to Provide International Notification of Traveling Sex Offenders ; and the term unique identifier means any visual designation affixed to a conspicuous location on the passport or passport card indicating that the individual is a covered sex offender.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the Department of State to affix a unique identifier to a passport card. .
