Can I collect visa numbers from participants in New York? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the context documents, it is unclear what type of visa numbers you are referring to and for what purpose you want to collect them. However, if you are referring to identification numbers for petition volumes, then the State and County Boards of Elections issue identification numbers without charge for the purpose of identifying petition volumes [2.1]. Any person or persons, individually or jointly, may obtain one or more identification numbers, upon written application, from the Board of Elections. Individuals who do not wish to apply for these numbers in advance will have them assigned to their petitions when they are submitted to the Board of Elections in accordance with section 6215.6(b) of this Part [2.1]. Identification numbers may be used only within the calendar year for which issued [2.1].

If you are referring to visa numbers for noncitizens, then reimbursement for assistance to refugees, entrants or other noncitizens of New York shall be claimed in accordance with instructions and directions of the department and upon formats prescribed by the department [4.1].
