2006 New York Code - Registration; Assistance To Applicant.

 
    §  5-216.  Registration;  assistance  to  applicant.  1. If any person
  entitled to be registered shall declare to the board of inspectors  that
  he is unable to read or write by reason of illiteracy or disability, the
  board  shall  provide  assistance  in registering. Such person shall, if
  unable to write, be excused from signing and the board shall  enter  the
  words  "unable  to  sign"  in each space reserved for his signature. The
  board shall also  enter  in  the  remarks  space  on  the  face  of  the
  registration records the reason for his inability to write his name.
    2.  If  the  applicant  be  a  person  who  does not speak the English
  language, he may be assisted by a relative who can interpret for him. If
  the applicant registers with this assistance the board shall put in  the
  remarks  space  of  the registration forms the name and address, and the
  relationship,  of  the  person  so  doing  the  interpreting   and   the
  interpreter shall sign his name in the remarks space.
    3.  If  the registrant needs assistance with registration, he may also
  have the same assistance in order to mark the enrollment blank.
