This article is for Georgia families wanting to learn more about the persona process.
Uploading Required Documents
During registration, you will reach a page prompting you to upload the necessary documents. Refer to the image below for guidance on what this page looks like.
Required Documents for Transferring Students
If your child is transferring from a public school, you must upload the following documents:
- A government-issued ID
- Proof of address (e.g., a utility bill or lease agreement)
- Your most recent federal tax return (1040 or 1040-EZ)
After selecting "Verify Documents," you will see a confirmation page. Ensure all uploaded documents are clear and accurate. If using a mobile device, you may take a picture directly within the app or upload a saved image from your device.
Once you select "Begin Verifying," you will first upload your residency documents. See the image below.
Government-Issued Identification
Your government-issued ID must include:
- Your full name
- A photograph
- Your residential address (must match your current residence)
When submitting a driver’s license or state ID, ensure all details are clear. Blurry or unreadable documents may result in the need to reapply. Refer to the image below for an example of acceptable clarity.
Submitting Proof of Address
After submitting your ID, you will be asked to upload a recent utility bill (water, gas, or electricity) that includes your name and residential address. The bill must be dated within the last 30–60 days.
Uploading Your 1040 Tax Form
Then you will be asked to upload your 1040 tax form for income verification.
The 1040 tax form must be a copy of your most recent federal tax return and include your full name and residential address. All pages are required.
After Application Submission
Once your application is submitted, you will receive confirmation from your chosen school.
