Moving or Change of Address

Updated: January 8, 2024

Within 30 days of moving, you must notify the PVPUSD of your new address and provide the address verification documents. 

If the student no longer resides within the PVPUSD boundaries, or the student was never a resident of the PVPUSD and has moved, the address of record still needs to be updated and verified with current local utilities. Enrollment Center staff will work with families regarding alternative solutions for continuing enrollment opportunities. 
Schedule an appointment and provide the following to update your address: 
Gathering Required Documents 
 
RESIDENCY VERIFICATION GUIDELINES: 
 
 To prove your family resides in the PVPUSD, we require each resident to provide TWO different utility bills, or a variation of a utility bill and other documents.  For more details about residency verification alternatives, view the section “Documents Required to Verify Residency Status” below. 
Great!  Bring in TWO different utility bills. They must include: 
 
  • Service address AND mailing address to the residence provided 
  • In-tact document dated within 60 days (stubs/bottom portion only will not be accepted) 
  • Parent/Guardian listed as the primary account holder 
Does your household pay bills online only or receive e-Statements? 
 
Electronically generated documents (.PDFs, .JPGs, .PNGs, etc. printed off a browser or from an email address) will NOT be accepted as an official document. 
 
If you receive eBills, you may choose from the options below (Option 1 is preferred, as it offers a faster and more efficient enrollment process.) 
Contact any TWO utility providers and request the specific document MAILED (not emailed) to your residence.  This will take 5-7 business days. Leave the letter sealed to verify the authenticity.  The document will only be accepted for up to 60 days. 
 
Select utilities where: 
 
  • Service address AND mailing address to the residence provided 
  • Parent/Guardian listed as the primary account holder 
 
UTILITY CONTACTS:  
Utility Provider Document Request to MAIL: Contact Information Notes:
Athens Trash Service Request a hard copy of your bill to be mailed to you  Email [email protected] (include account number, name and address in the email)   
California Water Service Request a hard copy of your bill OR Service Verification to be mailed to you   (310) 257-1400  Bring all pages of the bill 
SoCal Gas Request Letter of Service Verification  (877) 238-0092   
Southern California Edison Request Letter of Residency  (800) 655-4555   
Verify the account electronically at the time of enrollment on a PVPUSD kiosk.  Staff will verify the authenticity of the service provider. You will need to login to your service provider account from the PVPUSD kiosk (NOT your personal device/phone) and to print your current utility bill from a secure browser. 
 
To expedite this process:
✔ Know your username and password for at least two of your utility service providers 
 
Please note that this option can potentially lengthen your enrollment process if you are chasing down username and password reset emails. It is imperative that you know your account username and password prior to your appointment.
