What do I have to do to get my Certificate of Residence?
1. Fill out the application completely (print clearly).
2. Have the form notarized by a certified New York State notary public. Most county offices will have a notary public on the premises.
3. Take or mail the application to the County Treasurer in your HOME County. If you mail your application, you will need to send proof that you reside in that county. Acceptable proof may be a copy of your driver’s license, or a rent receipt bill with your name and address on it, dated at least six months prior. If you reside with your parents, you may send a copy of your parents’ New York State Tax Return for the past year showing you as a dependent. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
4. The County Treasurer will issue the Certificate of Residence to you.
5. Send or bring the Certificate of Residence to Bursar’s Office at HCCC.
