Consistent with the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011 (O.C.G.A. § 50-36-1(e)), effective January 1, 2012, persons making application with the Board of Court Reporting for registration or registration renewal on behalf of a court reporting firm must verify their lawful presence in the United States.

The following items must be submitted before your registration can be issued or renewed:

1.  A copy of one of the following documents:
1. United States passport or passport card
2. United States Military ID

2. A signed and sworn affidavit verifying your lawful presence in the United States.  The affidavit to use for this purpose can be found HERE on page 4.

By checking the box below, I understand that my court reporting firm’s registration cannot issue or be renewed until the two documents as described within this section (“Verification of Lawful Presence”) have been received by the Board of Court Reporting. I further understand that I will need to submit these documents to the Board of Court Reporting by fax at (770) 342-4816 prior to, or contemporaneously with, my submission of this Renewal for Georgia Court Reporting Firms.
