    • Your child’s Birth Certificate (do not mail an original)

    • Your child’s most recent physical and immunization records

    • Proof of residency which must be a lease, mortgage statement, Westerly tax bill or current utility bill.  If you do not have an acceptable form of proof of residency, call 401-315-1502 before sending any documents.  

    • A copy of your current drivers license for personal identification (can not be used as proof of residency)

    • Custodial paperwork (if applicable)
