A certified birth certificate for US citizens may be requested online at: https://www.floridahealth.gov/certificates/certificates/birth/_documents/DH726-birth-app-12-9-2022.pdf.

A Florida Certificate of immunization, Form 680 (blue card), is completed by a Florida physician or by a Florida county health department. Parents should obtain a copy of their child's complete immunization history before leaving their current residence, as this form is not available to the general public. Information on Florida school immunization requirements is available at https://www.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/childrens-health/school-health/enrollment.html.
Evidence of a medical exam completed no less than 12 months prior to the child's school entry date. As long as the medical exam meets the 12-month requirement, parents may submit this information on the School-Entry Health Exam Form DH3040 or provide a copy of the exam obtained from their current physician before moving to Florida. Official documentation shows that the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) is a resident(s)of the school district attendance area.

For families who may be sharing housing by choice, there is a Shared Tenancy Affidavit that must be completed in order for the student to enroll and register for school.
For students who may be living temporarily with another family, the in-loco parentis form has been updated to reflect a maximum of 30 days. The form may not be used in lieu of the district's ELO and EPO request process to gain admittance into a school outside of the student's zoned school.
