Instant student
residency verification
Automatically verify student residency and school zones based on your needs, with document-free checks and intelligent document screening
How Does It Work?
All you need is a name and address – we'll do the rest, in realtime!
No physical documents needed
(but we can screen those too, if required)
1
Enter the name and address of the parent or guardian you would like to verify (one-by-one or all at once via a CSV file)
2
Before doing any identity verification, we validate the property is not vacant, not seasonally occupied, and a residential property (no business, mailbox, 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 that the provided person has this property as their primary residence.
5
You or any member of your staff (we don't charge for additional accounts) can access a detailed verification report that includes all results (and can also include intra-district school assignment checks)
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 automated residency 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.
In addition to authoritative verification, we provide a variety of tools to help you find people, addresses, and phone numbers, supporting you in investigating potential residency fraud.
We ensure addresses are assigned to the correct intra-district school attendance zone and any other district-specific rules regarding school placement.
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. The portal can verify residency document-free and/or through a document upload. Our algorithms automatically validate the authenticity of any documents and provide you with an auditable report.
Our entire system can be accessed through a REST API for inclusion in your custom solutions. This includes matching addresses to school attendance zones, document-free residency verification, and document authenticity screening.
We natively integrate into PowerSchool and Genesis so you can use CivicBell without leaving your familiar environment, and are currently working on allowing native integration in all other major U.S. Student Information Systems.
