To provide for the mandatory revocation of passports of individuals who are more than $5,000 in arrears in child support payments.

H.R. 4956 is a legislative proposal that would require the federal government to revoke the passports of individuals who owe more than $5,000 in past-due child support. Under current law, the government has the authority to deny new passport applications or renewals for those with significant child support debt, but this bill would make the immediate cancellation of existing passports mandatory. If enacted, affected individuals would be unable to travel internationally until they have made arrangements to settle their unpaid child support obligations.
