State of
New Jersey - Executive
Order #
18
Governor James E. McGreevey
WHEREAS, State and local governments issue certain vital records such as birth
certificates, and counties also issue county identification cards (collectively,
official identifying records); and
WHEREAS, public and private enterprises at
times may rely on such official identifying records to establish, support or
confirm the bearer's identity; and
WHEREAS, official identifying records may be
presented to acquire other forms of personal identification, which may further
support a bearer's claimed identity, or which may entitle the bearer to certain
licenses, privileges and benefits, including but not limited to, access to
travel, employment and certain secure locations; and
WHEREAS, the New Jersey Domestic Security
Preparedness Task Force has supported measures to deter the misuse of vital
records by establishing safeguards regarding the issuance of such records; and
WHEREAS, the misuse of official identifying
records presents grave risks to the public by those seeking to perpetrate frauds
and other crimes on our citizens, and, more critically, potentially by those
within our borders who wish to endanger the safety and security of our State and
our nation through terrorism;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JAMES E. McGREEVEY, Governor
of the State of New Jersey, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the Statutes of this State, including but not limited to the
Disaster Control Act of 1941, P.L.1941, c.393, as supplemented and amended, do
hereby ORDER and DIRECT that:
- Within 90 days of the date of this order,
the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Senior Services
(Commissioner) shall designate specifications for uniform forms for the
issuance of all vital records, which shall be used by registrars beginning
on a date established by the Commissioner.
- The form designated for certified copies of
vital records shall contain safety features for authentication purposes and
to deter forgery, and shall be readily distinguishable from the form
designated for certifications of vital records.
- A State or local Registrar may issue a
certified copy of a vital record only to persons who establish themselves as
the subject of the vital record, the subject's parent, legal guardian or
legal representative, spouse, child, grandchild or sibling, if of legal age,
to a State or federal agency for official purposes, pursuant to court order
or under other emergent circumstances as determined by the Commissioner.
- Certifications may be issued in other
circumstances and shall state that they are for informational purposes only,
and are not to be used for identification or legal purposes.
- The Registrar must authenticate the identity
of the requestor and his or her relationship with the subject of the vital
record.
- The Director of the Division of Alcoholic
Beverage Control shall forthwith review the regulations regarding the
issuance of county identifications, and shall propose any appropriate
amendment that would deter the fraudulent or other improper use of such
cards.
- This Order shall take effect immediately and
shall remain in effect, unless rescinded, until such time as the
requirements set forth in numbered paragraph 1 through numbered paragraph 4
of this Executive Order are passed into law by the Legislature and approved
by the Governor.
GIVEN, under my hand this 24th day of April, in
the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand Two, and of the Independence of the United
States, the Two Hundred And Twenty-Sixth.
(Signed) James E. McGreevey
Governor
