Social Security, Bank Account, Debit, & Credit Card

When preparing a document for recording in the Official Records, do not include Social Security numbers or complete bank account, debit, charge, or credit card numbers. Include such numbers only if they are specifically required by law.

If a Social Security number or a bank account, debit, charge, or credit card number was included in a document, it may have become part of the public record. Anyone has the right to request the Clerk & Comptroller remove these numbers from a publicly available image or copy of an Official Records document.

Request to Remove Personal Information

If you have the Official Records (OR) book and page or the instrument number, you can request to remove the Social Security, bank account, debit, charge, or credit card number on this form.
