G. Proof of Residency
Prince George’s County Public Schools reserves the right to investigate residency at any time without notification or consent whenever the authenticity of proofs are in question.

Parents must notify their child’s school when their home address changes and provide proof of their new residence. If families move out of Prince George’s County, children are no longer eligible to attend Prince George’s County Public Schools and will be withdrawn.

All documents must be originals. Settlement papers and lease/rental agreements must be signed and dated by all parties.
*Private party leases must be notarized by the landlord or a notarized letter from the landlord must be provided with the original lease.
If there are concerns about the residence, if the original term of the lease has expired, or if the ownership information is more than one year old, two additional documents of recent mail (listed below) will be required.
All additional documents must be originals, not copies. These documents must be delivered by US Postal mail and may include the following:
Secondary Proof of Residency

If you are unable to provide two proofs of residency in your name or are currently building/purchasing a home and moving into Prince George’s County prior to the end of the first quarter, contact the Office of Pupil Accounting at 301-952-6300.
