NOTE: This statement is required of all taxpayers in this situation. In some instances, the taxpayer will not have been a resident for the prior year and therefore will only attest to residency status in the current year.

A taxpayer may appoint a third party to submit Form 8802 on his behalf. In this situation the taxpayer may have to provide additional forms to the IRS which authorizes the IRS to deal with the third party appointee. Refer to the Instructions for Form 8802.

Form 6166 may also be used as a proof of U.S. tax residency status for purposes of obtaining an exemption from a VAT imposed by a foreign country. In connection with a VAT request the United States can certify only to certain matters in relation to your U.S. federal income tax status and not that you meet any other requirements for a VAT exemption in a foreign country.

In instances where double taxation has occurred, or is expected to occur, in a treaty jurisdiction and the taxpayer believes that he/she/it is a resident of the United States for treaty purposes, requests for relief may be submitted to the competent authority.

A Certificate of Residence enables Monroe Community College to bill your county for part of your tuition costs. Without a valid Certificate of Residence, you will be considered a non-resident of New York State and will then have to pay double tuition when you register.

Certificates cannot be dated more than 2 months prior to the date you register for classes. They must be submitted to the Student Accounts Office no later than 30 days after the start of the semester. Contact your County Treasurer's Office to see if it has other restrictions or requirements.

You obtain a Certificate of Residence from the county of your permanent residence by providing proof of residency. In most cases this is your County Treasurer's Office. The application can be submitted to them electronically, in person, or via mail, but we encourage you to contact your county to see what type(s) of proof they require.

Students who have been a permanent resident of Monroe County for at least the previous 6 months (and New York State for the previous year) need to fill out the Certificate of Residence affidavit and submit it directly to the Student Accounts Office. Please note that you may be required to provide proof of your permanent residence in Monroe County.

If you have not been a permanent resident of New York State for at least one year prior to the semester you plan on attending, you must pay non-resident tuition. Non-residents include international students (holding an F-1 visa), temporary residents such as out-of-state residents attending another local college or here on short-term job assignments, and any other person who is in the United States on a visa.

Immigrants must provide proof of their permanent resident status (official documentation from US Citizenship and Immigration Service) as well as proof that they have been a New York State resident for at least one year prior to the start of classes.

To qualify for the resident tuition fee, a student is required by law (NYS Education Law, Section 6305) to present once each academic year, a residency certificate indicating that he or she has been a legal resident of the State of New York for one year, and of a county for six months. The certificate of residency obtained from your home county is the only proof of residence that qualifies for resident or in-state tuition.

New York State Counties will issue certificates up to 60 calendar days prior to registration and until 30 calendar days into the semester. Counties are permitted by law to refuse applications after the 30th day of the semester. Many counties adhere to this deadline with NO EXCEPTIONS.

Note: Tuition bills will include non-resident charges for students who have not submitted a valid certificate of residency to the Student Accounts Office. Non-resident charges DOUBLE the tuition portion of the bill.
