Texas allows a parent or guardian to claim an exemption from required school immunizations for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief — but only on the state's own affidavit, and only if that affidavit is notarized. Schools and child-care facilities cannot enrol the student until they have the original notarized affidavit in hand. We notarize these across San Antonio and Bexar County, including evenings and weekends during enrolment season.

The form has to come from Texas DSHS

The affidavit is Texas Department of State Health Services form F11-11755. DSHS posts a blank copy to download, and will also print and mail one on request. No one else — including us — can supply a valid form. Download or request it first, then bring it to the signing.

Two deadlines, and they catch people out

The affidavit must be submitted to the school or child-care facility within 90 days of the date it is notarized. Once accepted it is valid for two years from the date of notarization. Notarizing in spring for an autumn enrolment can therefore push you outside the 90-day window. Notarize close to when you will submit it.

The school needs the original

A student may not be enrolled until the school or facility receives the original notarized affidavit — not a photocopy, scan or emailed image. Keep it flat, keep it clean, and hand in the original.

What to have ready

The DSHS affidavit, completed but not yet signed, and a valid government-issued photo ID for the parent or guardian signing it. The signature must be made in front of the notary.

Enrolment season and after-hours signings

Demand for this affidavit spikes in July and August. We are a 24/7 mobile service, so if you discover the requirement the week school starts, an evening or weekend signing at your home is normal.

What we do, and what we cannot do

We notarize your signature on a form you provide. We do not prepare, complete, correct or choose forms, we do not give legal advice, and we do not decide whether your situation requires a particular document. Those questions belong to the agency receiving the document or to an attorney. We take no position on immunization itself; we verify the identity of the person signing and witness the signature.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Texas exemption affidavit have to be notarized?

Yes. The affidavit must be notarized, and the school or child-care facility cannot enrol the student until it receives the original notarized affidavit.

How long is it good for?

Two years from the date of notarization.

How quickly do I have to turn it in?

Within 90 days of the date it was notarized.

Where do I get the form?

From Texas DSHS — download form F11-11755, or ask DSHS to mail you one. We cannot provide the form.

Can I send the school a copy?

No. The facility needs the original notarized affidavit.

Can this be done by remote online notarization?

The affidavit must be submitted as an original paper document, so check with your school before relying on a remote signing. An in-person mobile signing is the safer route here.
