New Requirements for Verification of Lawful Presence within the United States
Effective January 1, 2012 agencies or political subdivisions of the State of Georgia providing or administering a public benefit are required to verify that applicants for a public benefit are in the United States in a lawful manner.

Therefore, an applicant for a CON must be in compliance with the law for the CON to be awarded.
Effective January 1, 2012 all CON applications must include an original signed and notarized affidavit in accordance with O.C.G.A. 50-36-1(e)(2) as well as a copy of a secure and verifiable document in accordance with O.C.G.A. 50-36-2. A copy of the affidavit along with instructions for submitting the affidavit and secure and verifiable document can be located at the following link or by navigating to the CON Applications and Forms page from the CON Information link from www.dch.georgia.gov.
