(a) Scope and Authority.  Section 112A of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes provides the basis for Oklahoma Child Support Services (OCSS) to collect and maintain addresses of record for:

• (1) parties and custodial persons subject to paternity orders or child support orders entered in Oklahoma;
• (2) noncustodial parents under Section 237A of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes and OAC 340:25-5-213;
• (3) parties and custodial persons subject to paternity orders or child support orders entered in other jurisdictions; and
• (4) parties and custodial persons when they voluntarily submit them.

(b) Establishment of address of record.  Custodial persons and noncustodial parents establish the initial address of record through:

• (1) completion of Form 03EN008E, Family Violence - Address of Record Statement;
• (2) a court order; or
• (3) a support order summary form when services are not being provided under the OKDHS state IV-D plan pursuant to Section 237 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

(c) Updating an address of record.

• (1) A person who is responsible for maintaining an address of record on file with OCSS under Section 112A of Title 43  or Section 237A of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes must notify OCSS of any change in the address within 30 calendar days.  The person may send changes to OCSS, Central Case Registry, P.O. Box 528805, Oklahoma City, OK 73152-8805 or to a district child support office.  OCSS may require proof of a person's identity before establishing or changing a person's name or address of record and may attempt to verify or confirm the correctness of addresses of record.
• (2) A custodial person updates an address of record:
  • (A) by completing and signing a change of records letter;
  • (B) by telephoning OCSS customer service at 405-522-2273 in the Oklahoma City calling area, 918-295-3500 in the Tulsa calling area, or toll-free at 1-800-522-2922 and entering an OKDHS customer identification number and personal identification number.  This provides restricted access to the custodial person's case information for OCSS to update the address of record by telephone; or
  • (C) through a court order.
• (3) A custodial person who is represented by an attorney may designate the attorney’s address as the address of record pursuant to Sections 112A and 413(F) of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes.  The designation must include the signature of the custodial person and the attorney.  When a custodial person has designated an attorney’s address as the address of record, the address of record can only be updated with the written permission of the custodial person and the attorney.  In accepting designation as the custodial person's address of record, the attorney becomes responsible for receiving the custodial person's legal documents and other official papers by regular mail, and may receive the custodial person’s payments.
• (4) OCSS does not change a custodial person's address of record to that of a collection agency to send support payments to the collection agency's address.  OCSS denies any such request unless there has been an assignment of child support to an attorney pursuant to Section 118.4 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
• (5) A noncustodial parent updates an address of record:
  • (A) by completing a change of records letter; or
  • (B) through a court order.
