Bill > HB556

This bill amends existing Virginia law to require that divorce decrees and reports of divorces and annulments include a party's social security number or a control number issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), but only if that information is known and available. The State Registrar of Vital Records is responsible for collecting this information, which is necessary for official record-keeping related to marriages and divorces. The bill clarifies that the inclusion of these numbers is not mandatory if they are not readily accessible to the parties or the court.
