Steps to completing the registration process:

• Schedule an appointment (reserved processing time) at bottom of this page - Parent/Guardian does not need to come to Central Registration unless providing original notarized documents, cannot upload the required documents, or the use of a computer is needed.  A phone call will not be made as the appointment will be completed virtually.

• Gather required documents and prepare for upload

  • • • Student's Birth Certificate

      • Georgia Department of Health Form 3231 - Certificate of Immunization (must be on the Georgia Form and completed by a Georgia doctor or Georgia health department) OR

      • Two valid proofs of residence
• Complete the online application (link is in email sent once the appointment is made).  Required documents must be uploaded to the application.  
• If unable to upload the required documents, the documents must be brought in person to 522 Hardee Street Dallas, GA 30132.  The office is open from 7:30 am – 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday.  To provide documents outside of business hours, a drop box is located to the left of Central Registration’s front door between two windows and is labeled "drop box."  Documents left in the drop box must contain appointment name, date, and include the online application number.
• A confirmation email will be sent once the registration is completed (during peak times can be up to 72 hours).  This email will contain important information that parents will need to review. 

If acceptable proof of residence is not in the name of parent/guardian or their spouse, a Statement of Legal Residence Form is required in addition to the two valid proofs.  The original notarized document must be received at our office before your reserved processing time.

If the person registering a student is not a biological parent, does not have court-ordered custody, or a DFACS placement letter, a Kinship Caregiver Affidavit must be completed. The original notarized document must be received at our office before your reserved processing time.  

Central Registration has several notaries and will notarize these forms for free OR you can have notarized by another notary and bring the original notarized form to our office at 522 Hardee Street Dallas, GA 30132.
