Documentation to Verify Your Child's Age

Please provide documentation from one of the following that applies to your child’s place of birth.

If your child was born in the U.S. we require the child’s full-size, original birth certificate (original copy).

If your child was not born in the U.S we require the child’s Passport or Permanent resident alien card.

If you are not the child’s parent, we require notorized State of Connecticut Court issued documentation as proof of guardianship. Please note a notarized letter from a biological parent is not an acceptable form of transfer or legal guardianship. We also ask for the guardian’s valid photo ID and the child’s full-size original birth certificate (original copy).
