How do I register my child for school?
You are able to register a child for public school in the school district where they live with a parent or guardian. You will need to go to the central registration office—note that some states and districts have online resources that don’t require your physical presence in the office—and fill out the necessary forms. Then, after submitting the required documents to show proof of age, address, and immunization records, the school district will process the application and enroll your child in school.
What do I need to register my child for school?
When you go to register your child for school there are certain documents that you must bring. You will need proof of your child’s age and most often they will require a certified copy of your child’s birth certificate or a passport. In addition to that, you will need proof of where you live. This can typically be shown via a lease, deed, property tax bill, driver’s license, state or federal documents, current utility bills, or vehicle registration. The requirements for proof of address vary by state, so you will need to confer with your school district’s central office. Finally, you will also need to provide a copy of your child’s immunization records.
What if I cannot find my child’s original birth certificate or immunization records?
If you cannot find your child’s original birth certificate or immunization records, it is not the end of the world. There are two things you can do, one of which is try to locate the documents on your own. You can go to the town or city clerk’s office to obtain a certified copy of the birth certificate and fight traffic to head to the doctor’s office where you think your child was immunized. Or, you can call Datafied.
