My First WIC Visit

In order to enroll you and your family in WIC, we must complete state and federal program information certification paperwork. You do not have to be a US citizen to participate in WIC. Everyone must requalify for WIC after 6 months of participation.

To help us make the enrollment process as smooth as possible for you, please bring with you as much of the following information as possible. If you do not have some of the information on this list, please come to your appointment anyway!

• Person being certified - The pregnant woman, new mother and infant, or child being certified must come for the visit.
• Proof of legal name - For an infant you may bring hospital discharge papers or nursery bracelet. You should provide birth certificates for children.
• Photo ID - Adults should present a photo identification, such as a driver's license.
• Proof of Missouri address - You should bring a utility bill, telephone bill or some other letter addressed to you.
• Medicaid (MOHealthNet) card - If you have this service, you should provide a Medicaid card for each person being certified.
• Proof of income - You should bring a pay stub, direct deposit slip, Social Security payment stub, etc. Your gross income must fall into the WIC eligibility guidelines.
• Child or infant's immunization records - If you have a record. We provide childhood immunizations at no cost to you at our Westside Public Health Center.

Please allow two hours for your first appointment. If you are attempting to certify more than one person, allow additional time beyond the two hours.

We are glad you decided to participate in the WIC program. We are here to provide quality nutrition services to you and your family.
