One of the following must be submitted by a birth mother, the father or partner of a birth mother:
- a copy of your child's birth certificate
- a copy of your child's footprints or a letter from the doctor or hospital, on official letterhead, stating the child's birth date, parent names, and type of delivery.
For adoption or foster care, you must submit official adoption or foster paperwork.
To avoid delays, you may wish to choose options available before the birth certificate arrives so you can submit your documentation as soon as possible.
Supporting documentation may be uploaded directly to SOLAS or sent via email to: SOLASleavesfax [at] schools [dot] nyc [dot] gov (SOLASleavesfax[at]schools[dot]nyc[dot]gov).
