But if   any of the persons, required to be given notice by this section,  reside   without the state, then the notice required by this section must be sent   by registered mail to the last known address of the person to be served.   If it appears to the satisfaction of the court that a person required to   be  given  notice  by  this section cannot be located with due diligence   within the state, and that such person has no known address without  the   state,  then  the court may dispense with notice or require notice to be   given to such persons and in such manner as the court thinks proper.2. If the petition be  to  change  the  name  of  a  person  currently   confined  as  an incarcerated individual in any correctional facility or   currently under the supervision of the  department  of  corrections  and   community  supervision or a county probation department as a result of a   conviction for a violent felony offense as defined in section  70.02  of   the  penal law or a felony defined in article one hundred twenty-five of   such law or any of the following provisions of such law sections 130.25,   130.30, 130.40, 130.45, 255.25,  255.26,  255.27,  article  two  hundred   sixty-three,  135.10, 135.25, 230.05, 230.06, subdivision two of section   230.30 or 230.32, notice of the  time  and  place  when  and  where  the   petition  will  be presented shall be served, in like manner as a notice   of a motion upon an attorney in an action, upon the district attorney of   every county in which such person has been convicted of such felony  and   upon  the  court  or  courts  in  which the sentence for such felony was   entered.

Under no circumstances shall the   court   require   notice   to  United  States  immigration  and  customs   enforcement, United States customs and border protection, United  States   citizenship  and immigration services, or any successor agencies, or any   agencies having similar duties.* NB Effective December 21, 2021* 4.
