In order to attend Fredericksburg City Public Schools, students and their parent/guardian(s) must be residing in the City of Fredericksburg. All of the documents must be current, valid, and reflect the address being used to enroll the student.

Documentation must include one of the following:

• Primary Documents: a mortgage statement, deed, or rental agreement/lease

• Secondary Documents: a current utility bill or letter of account from a utility company (gas, electric, or water only), or real estate tax bill/statement

If your name does not appear on the lease/mortgage agreement and utility bill of the residence in which you reside, you must provide the Shared Housing Forms 1 & 2 [English] [Dari/Farsi] [Pashto] [Spanish]. These forms will need to be signed and notarized with the tenant/owner indicating that you reside with them. In addition, there are required documents that will need to be provided to complete registration. Those documents are listed on the forms.

Please provide us a copy of this document. We will need to see the original during the virtual registration appointment. If you need a new birth certificate in Virginia, information can be found at the Virginia Office of Vital Records. The DMV is also able to assist in obtaining new birth certificates.
