Locator Cards - Chariho School District

Issuance of Locator Cards

The Town of Richmond has developed and adopted a new policy for the issuance of locator cards. To obtain a locator card, a parent, guardian or a person acting in loco parentis or acting on behalf of homeless children/students must respond to the Town Clerk’s Office and provide the following documents:

1. A valid photo identification
   Example: current RI driver's license or RI state identification card, with current street address. If you need to update your address, visit the RI Division of Motor Vehicles website.)
2. A certified copy of the child’s/student’s birth certificate
3. Proof of residency
   Example: mail with name and current address, such as a tax bill, utility bill, executed property deed, or some other proof of residency 

If not a homeowner, you must also present one of the following:

• A rental/lease agreement granting possession of a dwelling and verification of occupancy by the landlord. The agreement must list your child as an occupant
• A notarized statement from the property owner listing all occupants of the dwelling and how long they have lived there

Anyone applying for a locator card must complete and attest to an Affidavit of Residency/Homelessness at the Town Clerk's office.

*An English translation must be provided for any documents that are not in English.

Please note: There may be a delay of a few days before a locator card can be issued while eligibility for enrollment is being determined.
