A current immunization record or proof of exemption must also be submitted.

Parents should provide their child's birth certificate to prove the child's age. To prove the guardian's identity, a valid, government-issued driver or non-driver ID card can be presented. If applicable, produce proof of guardianship. Proof of residency is required and could include a tax bill, driver's license, utility bill, paycheck stub or tax return, among other items.
