To enroll in the WIC Program, you must be pregnant, breastfeeding, recently given birth, or have a baby or child under 5 years of age. Both the caretaker and child being enrolled must be present. Please bring:

• Photo ID such as a driver's license, birth certificate, Medi-Cal card, or immunization record

• Proof of income such as a paycheck or bank statement

• Height and weight of the child within the past 60 days

• Blood test called hemoglobin/hematocrit within the last 90 days

If you do not have the weight, height, and hemoglobin/hematocrit information, we can measure it in our office.

• The child and caretaker who is receiving benefits

• Proof of income (such as a pay stub or county verification letter of benefits)

• Proof of address (a piece of mail with the name of the person on the WIC ID)

WIC may be required to collect certain eligibility information under state and federal program rules. Our WIC staff cannot give you immigration advice. If you have any questions about how WIC participation may affect your immigration situation, please speak with a qualified immigration attorney. 

Starting September 18, 2026, immigration officers may consider WIC participation as one factor in certain public charge determinations for certain immigration status decisions, including some green card or visa applications.  A public charge decision is based on your overall circumstances, and using WIC does not automatically mean your application will be denied. If you are concerned that using public benefits could affect your immigration status, you should speak with a qualified immigration attorney before making decisions about your benefits. 

WIC will not provide immigration or law enforcement with any of your records unless legally required to do so (for example, via a legally enforceable subpoena, warrant, or court order).
