Step 3: Bring the enrollment materials to your base school

In order to finalize the registration process, school staff will review your submission and contact you with the next steps. Please wait for information from your child's base school regarding the completion of the enrollment process. The following documents need to be presented in person at the school in order to complete the registration process even if you have uploaded the document to the online registration:

1. A certified copy of your child's birth certificate. (Need a birth certificate? Parents of children born in Wake County may now order certified birth certificates from the Wake County Register of Deeds website.)
2. Proof of your Wake County address:
   • Current water, gas, or electric bill in parent's name that is no more than 30 days old,
   • Newly signed lease that is no more than 60 days old,
   • Settlement statement or
   • Offer to Purchase agreement, in limited circumstances.
3. A photo ID of the parent or legal custodian
4. Your child's immunization record
5. Any custody documents

Step 4: Obtain and submit proof of immunizations and NC Health Assessment

State law requires that every child entering public schools in N.C. for the first time receive a health assessment. The assessment must occur within 12 months prior to entering school. You or your medical provider should provide a completed NC Health Assessment Form to the school on or before the child's first day of attendance. NC Health Assessment Forms are also available at Wake County schools, area doctors' offices or at the Wake County Health Department.

State law requires these vaccinations before a student enters kindergarten and 7th grade.
