DS-4076 May Now be Completed in PDF Format, Electronic Submission at Future Date
The revised DS-4076 can now be filled out in PDF format, and as of September 30, 2009, is available for use at http://pmddtc.state.gov/docs/DS4076.pdf.
Applicants have the option of using the DS-4076 or continuing to prepare letter-type submissions. The DS-4076 will be processed as a paper document, similar to the current letter-type submissions, with appropriate attachments and copies. At a future date, the DS-4076 will go electronic and at the time, all CJs will be submitted using the DS-4076 electronically.
DDTC states that applicants should not send the DS-4076 via email or on a CD at this time as it will not be accepted. DDTC will make a future announcement when it is able to accept the new form electronically.
(According to DDTC's Office of Management and Budget information collection request, there are no changes to or differences between the paper DS-4076 and the electronic DS-4076.)
