Title: Project Passport - Standardized 1st Page of Domestic Violence Protection Orders
Parties: Navajo Nation, State of New Mexico and Other NM Tribes

Description:

Project Passport encourages the adoption of a recognizable first page (with standardized, common elements and format), known as the Passport Model Template First Page, for domestic violence orders of protection across jurisdictions. This standardization facilitates broader recognition and enforcement of orders of protection across tribal and state jurisdictions. The Passport Model Template First Page presents commonly agreed-upon data elements in a standardized format. By making the essential data readily available and easily recognizable on an order of protection, courts can be more confident that a “foreign protection order” (i.e., a protection order issued in another jurisdiction outside of the enforcing jurisdiction) is authentic, valid, and enforceable, and that the presenting parties at the point of enforcement are properly identified. Major elements such as the identity of the respondent, relationship of the parties to the order, expiration date of the order, and weapon information all appear in an easily recognized format on the first page of the protection order.
