FAQs About Kindergarten

I don't have proofs of residency in my name. What can I do to prove residency?

In cases where the parent or guardian lives with someone and can not prove residency, the homeowner or lessee (aka Host) will be required to provide the first and second proof of residency as outline.

A completed and notarized Affidavit of Residency Form will need to be filled in by the Host. Most banks will notarize for free if you are a member.

Finally, a picture or scanned copy of the Host's ID is required.
