Project Passport
Project Passport aims to improve recognition and enforcement of orders of protection within and between states/tribes by encouraging states to adopt a recognizable cover sheet for orders of protection (i.e. to include common elements). A component of the project is the promotion and use of XML technology to improve the comparability of data entered in protection order registries across states.
