This information is necessary to ensure an applicant's compliance with applicable tax laws. In addition, the Division's boards and committees are obligated to ensure that licenses and permits are not provided to non-qualified aliens because Federal law limits the issuance of professional licenses to U.S. citizens and qualified aliens.
