All non-English birth certificates must be officially translated.
McKinney and Refugee Students: Please refer to the Student Status and Registration Requirements document.
Parents who are unable to provide a Certified Copy of a Birth Certificate should use the affidavit along with other reliable proof. The affidavit must be signed, notarized, and accompanied by other reliable proof. Currency Exchanges, banks, and some local libraries provide notarization.
Non-MV/Refugee students who start registration without a Birth Certificate or the signed Affidavit may start school immediately. This is separate from the residency and medical requirements.

If a Birth Certificate or the signed/notarized affidavit and additional proof are not presented within 30 days, prepare and email the Missing Birth Certificate Letter - 10 Days.
