SCHOOL RESIDENCY AFFIDAVIT TEMPLATE FAQ

What is a school residency affidavit?

A School Residency Affidavit is a sworn statement used to confirm a student’s residence within a school district or attendance zone. Schools may require it when a family lacks typical proofs (like a lease or utility bill) or when a student lives with someone other than a parent.

Who signs it?

Often a parent or legal guardian signs. If the student lives with another adult (relative or caregiver), that adult may also sign. This template includes both parent/guardian and host household options.

What should be included?

Include the student’s name and date of birth, the residence address, who lives at the address, the relationship to the student, and an affirmation that the information is true. This template also includes a checklist for common supporting documents.

Do you need notarization?

Many schools require notarization. This template includes notarization and an optional witness section.

Does this replace other enrollment documents?

No. Schools may still require additional enrollment forms, immunization records, and custody/guardianship documents. This affidavit focuses only on residency verification.
