Alabama Act 2011-535;The "Immigration Act"
As
you may have heard,portions
of
Alabama Act 2011-535, commonly known as the"Immigration Act," are now in effect. I believe this law affects your department's issuance
of
house numbers to new applicants. I
do
not believe this law affects house numbers that have
al
ready been issued by your department.Before issuing a house number to an individual, certain measures must be taken
to
ensure thattheindividual is either aUnited States citizen or
is
otherwise lawfullypresent in theUnited
Sta
tes.
Before issuing a house number to a general partnership,the same measures must
be
takento ensure each partner is either a Untied States citizen or is otherwise lawfully present in
th
eUnited States.
If
an individual claims to be a United States citizen, require them to
do
two things:I. He/she must provide one
of
the documents listed on Exhibit A to this memo; and
2.
He/she must initial the applicable line and sign the declaration attached as
Exhibit B to this memo.
If
an individual claims he/she is not a United States citizen but is,instead,an alien prese
nt
in theUnited States lawfully, require them to
do
two things:
1.
He/s
he
must provide one
of
the documents listed
on
Exhibit C to this memo;and
2. He/she must initial the applicable line and sign the declaration attached to this
memo as Exhibit
B.
