According to the Chancellor's Regulation A-101 your child’s primary residence is where s/he resides and sleeps at night. An apartment you rent or own but do not reside in at the time of registration, your place of employment or any other variation is not considered a primary residence. For divorced families, the address of the custodial parent is used for registration; the custody agreement must be submitted at the time of registration.
The NYCDOE reserves the right to conduct address investigations and abide by the findings of the investigations.
It’s illegal to question families on their immigration status. Immigrants do not have to provide documents of US residency but they must provide the same proofs of residence as noted above.
