Child Support Statement
A Child Support Statement is mandatory in New York
State (General Obligations Law) regardless of whether
or not you have children or any support obligation. Any
person who is four months or more in arrears in
child support may be subject to having his or her
business, professional and driver’s licenses
suspended. The intentional submission of a false
written statement for the purpose of frustrating or
defeating the lawful enforcement of support obligations
is punishable under §175.35 of the Penal Law. It is a
Class E felony to offer a false instrument for filing with a
state or local government with the intent to defraud.
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS (PRIVACY
NOTIFICATION):
The Department of State is required to collect the federal
Social Security and Employer Identification numbers of all
licensees. The authority to request and maintain such
personal information is found in §5 of the Tax Law and §3-503
of the General Obligations Law. Disclosure by you is
mandatory. The information is collected to enable the
Department of Taxation and Finance to identify individuals,
businesses and others who have been delinquent in filing tax
returns or may have underestimated their tax liabilities and to
generally identify persons affected by the taxes administered
by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance. It will be used
for tax administration purposes and any other purpose
authorized by the Tax Law and may also be used by child
support enforcement agencies or their authorized
representatives of this or other states established pursuant to
Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, to establish, modify or
enforce an order of support, but will not be available to the
public. A written explanation is required where no number is
provided. This information will be maintained in the Licensing
Information System by the Director of Administration and
Management at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington
Avenue, Albany, NY 12231-0001.
Section 89H of Article 7A requires that you notify this division
of any changes to your residence address so you can receive
