Your child's registration will be processed when you have completed both steps below.  

1. Complete the Registration Application.  If you need help with the application, you are welcome to complete it in person.  However, parents are strongly encouraged to complete the application before coming to the office if possible.
   
   
2. Once the application has been submitted, bring your application number and the following documents to the Student Registration Center.
   • The child's birth certificate. If you don't have a copy, you can order a replacement from the Clarke County Health Department or online through the Georgia Department of Public Health.
   • The child's social security card. If you object to the incorporation of the social security number into the child's school records, you can waive the requirement.
   • The child's immunization record on Georgia Form 3231. If you don't have a copy, let us know and we may be able to look it up for you. If your child's immunization record is from a different state, you'll need to take it to the Clarke County Health Department to have it transferred to the Georgia immunization registry. There is a $10 charge at the Health Department to transfer immunization records.
   • The parent/guardian's photo ID.
   • Proof of residence.We'll need two documents, which can be two current utility bills (water, power, gas, pest control, cable, internet, trash), or one utility bill plus a current lease/rent statement/mortgage statement.  If you've moved in the last 30 days and don't have a utility bill yet, we will accept just your new lease or closing document. If you live with someone else, the person who owns or rents from that property must be present during the registration process and provide residency documents and ID. 
   • Proof of guardianship. This is only required if the child is adopted, in foster care, or living with someone other than a birth parent.
