Residency Verification

Verification of Residency in the Orinda Union School District:
State law requires that public schools verify student residence.  Board Policy number 5111 of the Orinda Union School District and Education Code 48204.6 provide that evidence of residency be submitted for each student desiring to attend schools within the district.
 
As evidence of residency within the Orinda Union School District at a minimum, THREE documents will be required. Documents will be requested at time of enrollment and during data confirmations.  Please note: additional residency verification documents may be requested on an as needed basis.
 
  • Grant Deed to property of residence with imprinted parent/guardian name and address
  • Correspondence from a government agency with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian 
  • Renter/Lease Agreement with name and address of the parent/guardian
  • California Driver’s License with parent/guardian name and address 
  • State or Federal Tax return with current imprinted label with parent/guardian name and address filed within the past 12 months with W-2 form attached
  • Major Credit Card account statement with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian from within the last 30 days 
  • Current Bank Statement with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian
  • Voter registration with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian
  • Current Utility service statement with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian
  • Current payroll check stub with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian
  • Original P.G. & E. bill from within the last 30 days with imprinted name and address of parent/guardian 
  • Current property tax bill with imprinted parent/guardian name and address
The district has no desire to see personal information such as earnings and amount of taxes paid; it is preferred that such information be redacted.  Documentation is only required for the verification of residence.
 
A post office box will not be accepted as an address for proof of residency or on the student emergency information form.
 
NOTE: The district reserves the right to request any additional proofs of residency as necessary. In addition, unannounced home visitations by a district residency verification officer may be conducted on an on-going basis during the student’s attendance in OUSD schools. If the Superintendent or designee, upon investigation, has determined that a student’s enrollment is based on false evidence, he/she shall revoke the student’s enrollment. The District may request verification of residency at any time.
