Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched child identity and daily care, violence, threat and medical records, school and residence details, existing court or custody orders
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
