Instant student residency checks document-free
Designed for school district staff to verify district residency of students during enrollment and annual updates
How Does It Work?
All you need is a name, address, and cell phone number – we'll do the rest, in realtime! No physical documents needed!
1
Enter name, address, and cell phone number of the parent or guardian you would like to verify (one-by-one or all at once via a CSV file)
2
We ensure the address is a verifiable USPS-validated address and check the integrity of the cell phone number (plan-based, no SIM swaps, etc.)
3
Next, we use authoritative GIS maps (or your own) to ensure the address is within the district – this includes unique cases, like split apartment buildings or odd & even number district assignment
4
Through partnership with authoritative data providers, we confirm the provided address matches the name and cell phone number, and is a proper residential address (not zoned for business).
5
You or any member of your staff (we don't charge for additional accounts) can access a detailed verification report includes all data (and can also include intra-district school assignment)
6
That's it! Now you can dedicate hours of your time to work that actually matters.
But don't listen to us!
Hear from our customers.
Public school districts and charter schools nationwide reduce fraud and save time & money by using our software.
“Our district could not be happier with the switch to digital verification with CivicBell. It’s a win-win – our families are saving time and we are providing a more accurate service while cutting costs.”
Fremont Union High School District, CA
“Things are going really well on our end. We've found the CivicBell software to be very helpful – it’s definitely saving us time and resources during the enrollment process.”
California Pacific Charter Schools
“We found several students who were being billed back to us who had in fact moved, thereby saving us on the order of $75,000 in tuition, and it has cut down on 100's of hours of secretarial work.”

Features That Help You
Our platform is a comprehensive, document-free verification system that allows you to go about your work in a variety of ways.
All of the below will be included in any contract.
You can verify the integrity of a single person one at a time or upload a CSV document that verifies the residency and identity of thousands of students at a time.
To ensure the McKinney-Vento Act is only being used for what it's intended for, we have tools that allow you to lightly and ethically investigate if a person is truly homeless.
Have parents/guardians pre-verify their residency and identity prior to signing up through your SIS. We provide a simple pre-enrollment (or annual update) portal, fully branded for your school
If your SIS allows it, we can provide you with a comprehensive REST API that allows you to include our verification system directly into your own systems – no need for an external portal.
