Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The Sentencing Disposition Forms Committee, a special committee of the Criminal Section of the Florida Conference of Circuit Judges, was designated at the request of former Chief Justice Ehrlich to review all dispositional forms contained in the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure and make recommended changes. The Forms Committee submitted proposed amendments to Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.140 and 3.986 for our consideration. The proposed changes were submitted to the Florida Criminal Procedure Rules Committee for review and were published for comment in The Florida Bar News.
The Forms Committee recommends that rule 3.140(c) be amended to require that the defendant's race, gender, date of birth, and social security number be included on the information or indictment. After reviewing this proposal, the Criminal Procedure Rules Committee recommends that the rule be retained as it is currently written and suggests that the race, gender, date of birth, and social security number of the defendant should be located on the order of commitment.
The Rules Committee also expressed concerns with and recommended rejection of many of the proposed changes to rule 3.986. Therefore, the Rules Committee was asked to draft and submit its recommended amendments to rule 3.986. In ac-
cordance with this request, the Rules Committee has submitted amendments to the current judgment and sentence form as well as new form probation, community control and restitution orders.
We have considered the proposed changes submitted by the Sentencing Disposition Forms Committee, the newly submitted recommendations of the Rules Committee, as well as comments of interested parties. We adopt the appended amendments to rule 3.140(c) as submitted by the Forms Committee. However, we reject the Forms Committee's proposed changes to rule 3.986 and adopt the appended amendments to rule 3.986 as submitted by the Rules Committee.
Rule 3.140(c)(4) is added to require that the defendant's race, gender, date of birth, and social security number be included on the information or indictment. The amendment to rule 3.986(a) clarifies the requirement that forms used by trial courts should conform with those set forth in the rule and recognizes the potential for use of computer generated forms. It also applies the presumption of validity to probation, community control and restitution orders.
An amended judgment form is contained in subdivision (b). One of the amendments to the judgment form was made at the suggestion of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to assist in implementing section 943.325, Florida Statutes (1991), which requires DNA testing and analysis to be performed on blood samples taken from all persons convicted of violations of chapters 794 and 800, Florida Statutes. A form for charges, costs, and fees has been added as subdivision (c). The sentencing form has been amended and is now found in subdivision (d). New form probation, community control and restitution orders are found in subdivisions, (e), (f), and (g), respectively.
All gender-specific designations have been deleted from the forms. Deletions are indicated by use of struck-through type. New language is indicated by under scoring. These amendments shall become effective upon the release of this opinion.
It is so ordered.
SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDonald, barkett, grimes, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
APPENDIX
RULE 3.140 INDICTMENTS; INFOR-MATIONS
(a) Methods of Prosecution.
(1) Capital Crimes. An offense which may be punished by death shall be prosecuted by indictment.
(2) Other Crimes. The prosecution of all other criminal offenses shall be as follows:
In circuit courts and county courts, prosecution shall be solely by indictment or information, except that prosecution in county courts for violations of municipal ordinances and metropolitan county ordinances may be by affidavit or docket entries and prosecutions for misdemeanors, municipal ordinances and county ordinances may be by Notice to Appear issued and served pursuant to Rule 3.125. A grand jury may indict for any offense. When a grand jury returns an indictment for an offense not triable in the circuit court, the circuit judge shall either issue a summons returnable in the county court, or shall bail the accused for trial in the county court, and such judge, or at his direction, the clerk of the circuit court shall certify the indictment and file same in the records of the county court.
(b) Nature of Indictment or Information. The indictment or information upon which the defendant is to be tried shall be a plain, concise and definite written statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged.
(c) Caption, Commencement, and Date, and Personal Statistics.
(1) Caption. No formal caption is essential to the validity of an indictment or information upon which the defendant is to be tried. Upon objection made as to its absence a caption shall be prefixed in substantially the following manner:
In the (name of Court)
State of Florida versus (name of defendant)
Any defect, error or omission in a caption may be amended as of course, at any stage of the proceeding, whether before or after a plea to the merits, by court order.
(2) Commencement. All indictments or informations upon which the defendant is to be tried shall expressly state that the prosecution is brought in the name and by the authority of the State of Florida. Indictments shall state that the defendant is charged by the grand jury of the county. Informations shall state that the appropriate prosecuting attorney makes the charge.
(3) Date. Every indictment or information on which the defendant is to be tried shall bear the date (day, month, year) that it is filed in each court in which it is so filed.
(4) Every indictment or information shall include the defendant's race, gender, date of birth, and social security number when any of these facts are known. Failure to include these facts shall not invalidate an otherwise sufficient indictment.
(d)The Charge.
(1) Allegation of Facts; Citation of Law Violated. Each count of an indictment or information upon which the defendant is to be tried shall allege the essential facts constituting the offense charged. In addition, each count shall recite the official or customary citation of the statute, rule, regulation or other provision of law which the defendant is alleged to have violated. Error in or omission of the citation shall not be ground for dismissing the count or for a reversal of a conviction based thereon if the error or omission did not mislead the defendant to his prejudice.
(2) Name of Accused. The name of the accused person shall be stated, if known, and if not known, he may be described by any name of description by which he can be identified with reasonable certainty. If the grand jury, prosecuting attorney or affiant making the charge does not know either the name of the accused or any name or description by which he can be identified with reasonable certainty, the indictment or information as the case may be, shall so allege and the accused may be charged by a fictitious name.
(3) Time and Place. Each count of an indictment or information upon which the defendant is to be tried shall contain allegations stating as definitely as possible the time and place of the commission of the offense charged in the act or transaction or on two or more acts or transactions connected together, provided the court in which the indictment or information is filed has jurisdiction to try all of the offenses charged.
(4) Allegation of Intent to Defraud. When an intent to defraud is required as an element of the offense to be charged, it shall be sufficient to allege an intent to defraud, without naming therein the particular person or body corporate intended to be defrauded.
(e) Incorporation by References. Allegations made in one count shall not be incorporated by reference in another count.
(f) Endorsement and Signature; Indictment. An indictment shall be signed by the foreman or the acting foreman of the grand jury returning it. The state attorney or acting state attorney or an assistant state attorney shall make and sign a statement on the indictment to the effect that he has advised the grand jury returning the indictment as authorized and required by law. No objection to the indictment on the ground that the statement has not been made shall be entertained after the defendant pleads to the merits.
(g) Signature, Oath, and Certification; Information. An information charging the commission of a felony shall be signed by the state attorney, or a designated assistant state attorney, under oath stating his good faith in instituting the prosecution and certifying that he has received testimony under oath from the material witness or witnesses for the offense. An information charging the commission of a misdemeanor shall be signed by the state attorney, or a designated assistant state attorney, under oath stating his good faith in instituting the prosecution. No objection to an information on the ground that it was not signed or verified, as herein provided, shall be entertained after the defendant pleads to the merits.
(h) Conclusion. An indictment or information on which the defendant is to be tried need contain no formal conclusion.
(i) Surplusage. An unnecessary allegation may be disregarded as surplusage and, upon motion of the defendant, may be stricken from the pleading by the court.
(j) Amendment of Information. An information upon which the defendant is to be tried which chárges an offense may be amended on the motion of the prosecuting attorney or defendant at any time prior to trial because of formal defects.
(k) Form of Certain Allegations. Allegations concerning the following items may be alleged as indicated below:
(l) Description of Written Instruments. Instruments consisting wholly or in part of writing or figures, pictures, or designs may be described by any term by which they are usually known or may be identified, without setting forth a copy or facsimile thereof.
(2) Words; Pictures. Necessary aver-ments relative to spoken or written words or pictures may be made by the general purport of such words or pictures without setting forth a copy or facsimile thereof.
(3) Judgments; Determinations; Proceedings. A judgment, determination or proceeding of any court or official, civil or military, may be alleged generally in such a manner as to identify such judgment, determination or proceeding, without alleging facts conferring jurisdiction on such court or official.
(4) Exceptions; Excuses; Provisos. Statutory exceptions, excuses or provisos relative to offenses created or defined by statute need not be negatived by allegation.
(5) Alternative or Disjunctive Allegations. For an offense which may be committed by doing of one or more of several acts, or by one or more of several means, or with one or more of several intents or results, it is permissible to allege in the disjunctive or alternative such two or more acts, means, intents or results.
(6) Offenses Divided into Degrees. For an offense divided into degrees it is sufficient to charge the commission of the offense without specifying the degree.
(7) Felonies. It shall not be necessary to allege that the offense charged is a felony or was done feloniously.
(l) Custody of Indictment or Information. Unless the defendant named therein has been previously released on a citation, order to appear, personal recognizance or bail, or has been summoned to appear, or unless otherwise ordered by the court having jurisdiction, all indictments or informa-tions and the records thereof shall be in the custody of the clerk of the court to which they are presented and shall not be inspected by any person other than the judge, clerk, attorney general and prosecuting attorney until the defendant is in custody or until one year has elapsed between the return of an indictment or the filing of an information, after which time they shall be opened for public inspection.
(m) Defendant's Right to Copy of Indictment, Information. Each person who has been indicted or informed against for an offense shall, upon application to the clerk, be furnished a copy of the indictment or information and the endorsements thereon, at least twenty-four hours before he is required to plead to such indictment or information if a copy has not been so furnished to him. A failure to furnish such copy shall not affect the validity of any subsequent proceeding against the defendant if he pleads to the indictment or information.
(n) Statement of Particulars. The court, upon motion, shall order the prosecuting attorney to furnish a statement of particulars, when the indictment or information upon which the defendant is to be tried fails to inform the defendant of the particulars of the offense sufficiently to enable him to prepare his defense. Such statement of particulars shall specify as definitely as possible the place, date, and all other material facts of the crime charged that are specifically requested and are known to the prosecuting attorney, including the names of persons intended to be defrauded. Reasonable doubts concerning the construction of this rule shall be resolved in favor of the defendant.
(o) Defects and Variances. No indictment or information, or any count thereof, shall be dismissed or judgment arrested, or new trial granted on account of any defect in the form of the indictment or information or of misjoinder of offenses or for any cause whatsoever, unless the court shall be of the opinion that the indictment or information is so vague, indistinct and indefinite as to mislead the accused and embarrass him in the preparation of his defense or expose him after conviction or acquittal to substantial danger of a new prosecution for the same offense.
RULE 3.986. Forms Related to Judgment and Sentence.
(a) Sufficiency of Forms. The following uniform judgment and sentence shall be sufficient, The forms as set forth below, or computer generated formats that duplicate these forms, shall be used by all courts.

Committee Note
1980 Amendment. The proposed changes to Rule 3.986 are housekeeping in nature. References to the Department of Offender Rehabilitation have been changed to Department of Corrections to reflect a legislative change. See Ssection 20.315, Florida, Stat, utes (Supp.1978). The reference to "hard labor" has been stricken as the courts have consistently held such a condition of sentence is not authorized by statute. See, e.g., McDonald v. State, 321 So.2d 453, 458 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975).
