Florida Form 12.902(j): Notice of Social Security Number

Start with the free official Form 12.902(j)

Florida Courts currently lists Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.902(j), Notice of Social Security Number, dated June 2018. The official PDF contains four pages: two instruction pages and a two-page notice that includes the oath, notarization block, and nonlawyer-assistance fields.

What does the official packet say Form 12.902(j) is for?

The June 2018 instructions state that each party completes and files the form in paternity, child-support, and dissolution-of-marriage cases, whether or not the case involves minor children or property. That is a summary of the dated official packet, not a case-specific direction from Sun State.

What information appears on Form 12.902(j)?

1. Protect every identifier before working with the form

This public page has no field for a Social Security number, birth date, or child identifier. Do not place those values in a Sun State contact form, support message, email, URL, analytics field, or public document.

Use only the official PDF and the secure filing method accepted by the court. Sun State does not receive or file the protected information described by this guide.

2. Match the caption to the existing court case

The notice begins with the judicial circuit, county, case number, division, petitioner, and respondent. These fields identify the court record and are separate from the protected identifiers that follow.

This guide does not choose a county, determine jurisdiction or venue, change party designations, or decide what should be entered in a caption.

3. Keep the filing party's fields separate from the child table

The first sentence displays blanks for the signing party's full legal name, Social Security number, and date of birth. Farther down, the second choose-one statement introduces a table for the names, birth dates, and Social Security numbers of minor or dependent children.

4. Read both case statements before making the form's choose-one selection

The first statement describes a dissolution of marriage in which the parties have no minor or dependent children in common. The second describes a paternity or child-support case, or a dissolution in which the parties have minor or dependent children in common.

Sun State does not classify a case, determine whether a child is minor or dependent, or select either statement. Questions about which statement fits require current official procedural information or legal advice.

5. Review the child rows and additional-page note without exposing the data

The second statement is followed by a three-column table labeled for each child's name, birth date, and Social Security number. The printed form says additional pages may be attached if necessary.

This guide does not identify who belongs in the table, create an attachment, decide whether an attachment is necessary, or reproduce any child's information. Confirm secure attachment and filing procedures with the clerk or current official resources.

6. Read the disclosure statement and oath exactly as printed

The notice states that disclosure of Social Security numbers is limited to administration of the Title IV-D child-support-enforcement program. The following oath says the signer is swearing or affirming that the notice's claims are true and warns of fines, imprisonment, or both for knowingly making a false statement.

Sun State does not interpret the disclosure limitation, verify an identifier, decide whether a statement is true, or advise anyone to sign. Filling a PDF does not place a person under oath.

7. Keep party contact fields and official notarization fields distinct

The party execution area displays the date, signature, printed name, address, city/state/ZIP, telephone number, fax number, and designated email addresses. The separate notarial block displays the Florida county, signing date, signer's name, notary-public or deputy-clerk details, and identification choices.

8. Read the packet's confidential-address note

The June 2018 instructions say that a person in a domestic-violence case who wants to keep an address confidential for safety reasons should not enter address, telephone, fax, or email information at the bottom of the form and instead should file Form 12.980(i), Request for Confidential Filing of Address.

This guide reports that dated instruction but does not determine whether the form applies, assess safety, or provide a confidentiality strategy. Use current court resources or qualified legal help for case-specific questions.

9. Check the 2018 filing and service text against current procedures

The packet says to file the original with the clerk in the county where the case was filed, keep a copy, and provide a copy to the other party if it was not served with the initial papers. It also discusses e-filing, e-service, and Forms 12.914 and 12.915 using rule names and procedures printed in 2018.

Rules, portal procedures, local requirements, and confidentiality processes can change. Florida Courts' current self-help guidance ↗ says self-represented parties are responsible for current statewide rules, local rules, administrative orders, required documents, and deadlines.

10. Review the nonlawyer-assistance fields

The bottom of the last page displays a prepared-for choice—petitioner or respondent—and fields for the assisting individual, business, address, city, state, ZIP code, and telephone number.

The instructions also say a nonlawyer must provide Form 12.900(a), Disclosure from Nonlawyer, before helping and place identifying information on the last page of every form the nonlawyer helps complete. Sun State does not decide what assistance is permitted or provide legal advice.
