Admission season brings paperwork — and missing a single document can delay your child’s seat. Whether you are applying to a CBSE school in Baghpat district, Baraut or anywhere in Uttar Pradesh, this checklist covers the documents schools most commonly ask for. Always confirm the final list with your chosen school, as requirements can vary slightly by class and board.
Universal documents (almost every school asks for these)
- Birth certificate — issued by the municipal authority or registrar; original plus photocopy. For Nursery/LKG, age proof is essential.
- Recent passport-size photographs — of the child (and sometimes both parents); check size and background requirements.
- Aadhaar card — child and parents/guardian; photocopies are usually sufficient.
- Admission form — filled and signed; collect from the school office or download if offered online.
- Address proof — Aadhaar, ration card, electricity bill or rent agreement showing where the family lives.
Documents by class level
Nursery, LKG & UKG (pre-primary)
- Birth certificate (primary age proof).
- Immunisation / health record if the school requests it.
- Parent ID and contact details.

Class I and above (new admission)
- Previous school report card — latest available marksheet or progress report.
- Transfer Certificate (TC) — from the previous school, usually required from Class II onward; some schools ask from Class I.
- Character / conduct certificate — if the previous school provides one.
- Migration certificate — when moving from another board or state (check with the new school).
Class IX and XI (secondary / senior secondary)
- Class VIII or X report card as applicable.
- Transfer Certificate with clear mention of board registration number where relevant.
- Subject choice form if the school offers streams (e.g. Science / Commerce).
Transfer Certificate (TC) — what parents should know
A Transfer Certificate is issued by the child’s current school when you formally withdraw. Tips to avoid delays:
- Apply for TC in writing with the required notice period (often 15–30 days — check your current school’s policy).
- Clear pending fees and library books before the TC is released.
- Ask for the TC in the format your new CBSE school expects; note registration numbers for Classes IX–XII.
- Keep both original and photocopies; some schools retain the original and return a stamped copy.
Mid-session moves are possible but depend on seat availability and board rules — enquire early at the admission office.
RTE and category-related documents (if applicable)
Under the Right to Education Act, eligible families may apply through state-defined processes. If you are applying under RTE or any reserved category, schools may additionally ask for:
- Income certificate (from the competent authority).
- Caste certificate (if applicable and required by the process).
- RTE allotment letter or state portal printout.
Rules change by session — verify current UP RTE guidelines on official government portals; do not rely on outdated social-media posts.
Practical tips before you visit the school
- Make a folder — originals in one section, self-attested photocopies in another.
- Carry pens and glue — for affixing photos on forms.
- Write names consistently — match spellings across birth certificate, Aadhaar and school records.
- Scan everything — keep digital backups on your phone in case a copy is needed again.
- Ask about fee payment — which documents are needed when fees are paid; see our fee structure page for how to get current fee details.

Frequently asked questions
Is a birth certificate mandatory for nursery admission?
Yes — schools use it to confirm age eligibility. Hospital records alone may not be accepted; get a municipal birth certificate if you do not have one yet.
What if the child’s name spelling differs across documents?
Resolve this before admission — obtain a corrected certificate or affidavit as advised by the school office to avoid board registration problems later.
Can I submit documents in Hindi?
Many UP schools accept Hindi documents; CBSE registration may still require English transliteration for certain fields — ask during admission.
