If you are planning to move out of state, Indiana WIC participants can still receive their benefits until the certification period expires as long as there is proof that they received WIC benefits in Indiana. Before you move, it is recommended that you contact the local WIC office. In most cases, the state agency will provide you with a special card that proves you participated in the Indiana WIC Program. When you have moved, the next step would be to call the WIC office in the state you moved to and schedule an appointment. Make sure to bring the special card to your appointment to show proof you received benefits from the Indiana WIC program.

  • Proof of residency. You are required to live in Indiana if you receive WIC in the state. To prove your residency, bring a copy of your lease, your driver’s license or a utility bill.
  • Proof of identity. Make sure to bring proof of identity for you and anyone else in your family when you go to the WIC office. Examples of documentation that satisfy this requirement include your state-issued ID, birth certificate or marriage license.
  • Proof of immunization. Your children who are younger than two years of age need to be current on their vaccines. Bring proof of this when you report to the office.
