We cite the law, or say where we can't.

Each requirement on a document we prepare carries the provision that imposes it, or is marked where our record holds none. We don't fill the gap with a guess.

Homeschool records

Before you text a photo. It is read by Anthropic's AI model to work out what the activity was, and location data is removed from JPEG and PNG photos before they are sent. Your phone company keeps its own copy of every message, which we cannot delete. You can ask for a copy of everything we hold, or for our copy to be deleted. While our replies by text are not getting through, the copy and the code that confirms a deletion can reach you only at an email address already confirmed on your account; without one, a deletion cannot be completed yet. What we store, and who sees it.

Three steps, all of them messages

There is no app, no dashboard and no login, because there is nothing to log in to. The whole product is a phone number: you text it, it texts back, and what you confirm is what goes on the filing.

Step one

Text it in

Text (717) 347-0786 and answer five questions — your surname, your state, which lawful route you use in it, your child's name and their grade. (Four, if your state recognises only one lawful route: then there is nothing to choose.) No app, no form, no login, no password. After that, send a photo of the worksheet, the project, the museum ticket — or just a note, with no photo at all, like 45 min fractions.

What happens to one message A phone sends a photo and a short note by MMS. The system reads photos in the image formats it supports, or a note on its own, and either logs the entry and queues it for the parent to confirm, or puts it on hold and asks the parent what it was. 45 min your phone MMS We read it photos: GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP up to 8 in one message or a note with no photo a model reads; you decide Logged, and queued “Logged: Fractions worksheet (Mathematics, 45 min).” Nothing counts until you confirm. Or: kept, not guessed a voice memo or a PDF is not read on its own: held, and we ask with photos: kept, and we say so
Photographs are read in GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, up to 8 images in one message. A voice memo, a PDF or a format the reader does not take is not transcribed or guessed at: it is kept, and you are told it was not read. Sent on its own, it is put on hold and you are asked to say what it was. A note on its own is logged as your own description of the day and marked on the filing as resting on nothing else.
Step two

Confirm it, or correct it in place

Every message gets an answer naming exactly what was logged — the activity, the subject, the minutes — and saying it does not count yet. When a few are waiting, or the moment you text LIST, you get a short numbered list. Reply Y to confirm all, N to drop all, 2 N to drop one. Wrong minutes or wrong subject? FIX 2 45m or FIX 2 science.

Correcting an item by reply A numbered confirmation list arrives by SMS. The parent replies FIX 2 45m. The first reading is kept in the record and a new corrected entry supersedes it, counted. from us 2 items to confirm: 1) 03-12 Tide pools (Science, 40m) 2) 03-14 Fractions (Mathematics, 2.0h) Reply Y to confirm all, N to drop all, or e.g. “1 Y 2 N”. you reply FIX 2 45m 2) Fractions — 120 min first reading, kept in the record supersedes 2) Fractions — 45 min your correction, counted
A correction does not overwrite anything. The first reading stays in the record and your version supersedes it, which is also your confirmation of that item. Corrections are bounded by the same contract the reader is: a duration up to 600 minutes, one of the 7 subjects we record. Anything else gets a question rather than a guess — and a date cannot be changed by reply at all, because that moves evidence between filings: reply N and send it again with the date in the message. A model reads your photo; a model never decides that a legal requirement has been met.
Step three

Ask for the filing, then pay

Text PORTFOLIO and your records for the academic year to date are compiled into your state's filing. If it is READY or READY_WITH_WARNINGS you are quoted $150 and sent a checkout link. If it is INCOMPLETE or BLOCKED you are told exactly what is missing and charged nothing. Text it twice and you get the same link back, not a second charge.

From the word PORTFOLIO to the document Texting PORTFOLIO compiles the confirmed records into a filing and assigns it a readiness word. A filing that is not ready is not for sale and nothing is charged. A filing that is ready is quoted on Stripe's own checkout page; only after Stripe's signed webhook confirms the payment is a private link to the PDF texted back. PORTFOLIO one message Compiled from the records you confirmed each one cited Readiness one of 4 words, never a score, never a percentage INCOMPLETE or BLOCKED Not for sale we say what is outstanding and charge nothing READY or READY_WITH_WARNINGS Stripe Checkout $150, on Stripe's page we never see a card Paid confirmed by Stripe's signed webhook, first Your filing, by text a private link to the PDF, good for 14 days
Readiness is one of 4 words — READY, READY_WITH_WARNINGS, INCOMPLETE, BLOCKED — and never a score or a percentage, because there is no denominator for compliance. Checkout happens on Stripe's own page; no card number reaches us. The document is sent only after Stripe's signed webhook confirms the payment, as a private link that opens the PDF for 14 days — anyone holding that link can open it. And the filing is prepared for you to file: we do not submit anything to your state.

The filing is compiled from records you already keep. 32 of 51 jurisdictions are served. In 1 we are not registered to prepare documents, so we do not sign families up there. 18 are locked, on one of three grounds counted state by state below: the audit found a disqualifying problem in our own record of the state, courts disagree about whether the route to home education is lawful at all, or the record has not been audited. A deadline the state leaves to your district is reported on the filing as a limit; it does not lock the state. Each requirement on the filing carries the provision behind it, or is marked where our record holds none, and each documented activity is traced to the requirement it goes toward.

Two things the filing will not do. It does not submit anything to your state — it is prepared for you to file, and you file it. And where your state's record lists contents a filing must include, those are printed on the document verbatim, each marked with whether this document contains it; an item nobody has reviewed against the document reads NOT ASSESSED and the filing says so on its face rather than looking complete.

Where we can sell you a filing today, and where we cannot

Served is not the same as sellable, and we would rather show you the difference than count all 32 as coverage of the product. Every jurisdiction is in exactly one row below.

Generated from the corpus on 2026-10-23; no figure here is typed by hand.
How manyWhichWhy
19 for sale CT, DE, IA, ID, IL, MA, MN, MO, MT, NC, NE, NH, NM, RI, TX, UT, WA, WI, WY These states record no content requirement this filing must be shown to contain: their own record either lists none, or marks the section that would carry them as not required. Nothing has been waived and nobody has certified anything — there was no item here to decide. A filing is offered for sale once your records cover what the state asks for, and the readiness word decides that per family, not this table.
13 served,
never sold		 DC, FL, HI, LA, MD, ME, NY, OR, SC, TN, VA, VT, WV 60 recorded content items across these 13 that nobody has yet checked our document against. We keep your records and tell you, item by item, exactly what is outstanding — but we will not sell you a filing, however complete your own records are.
0 served,
record unreadable		 none today The jurisdiction record could not be read when this page was built. Counted as not for sale rather than quietly counted as coverage.
1 not served,
we are not registered		 AZ These states regulate non-attorney document preparation directly, and we have not completed that registration. The restriction is on us, not on you: their law on home education is not the problem, and nothing here says anything about whether you may homeschool there. Until that registration is done we do not sign families up there, so we keep no records and sell nothing.
16 locked AK, AL, AR, CO, GA, IN, KY, MI, MS, ND, NJ, NV, OH, OK, PA, SD The legal audit of our own record for the state found something we treat as disqualifying: in some, an error in what the record says the law requires; in others, a requirement stated without the provision behind it, or a primary source the audit could not reach or confirm. We lock on the audit's findings rather than our own reading of them, so a lock can be stricter than the finding behind it. No document is generated until the record is fixed and the fix carries its own source.
2 locked CA, KS Appellate courts have not settled what the law requires of this route to home education — in some, whether the route exists at all. No document we generated could be honest about what it is.
0 locked none today Not yet audited against primary sources. Unaudited is not certified: the default is closed, so adding a state file cannot quietly switch filings on.
51 total 19 for sale + 13 awaiting that review + 0 unreadable + 1 where we are not registered + 18 locked. Every jurisdiction counted once.

In a locked state nothing is lost and nothing is charged: you are told as soon as you tell us your state, before you have sent a term of photos. In a served state that offers more than one lawful route, only the routes whose requirements we actually hold can be chosen — picking another is refused rather than given a different route's obligations.

Every filing carries the identifiers of the exact statutory record, audit, standards index and engine build it was produced from, so the same document can be regenerated later and checked against the rules it actually used.

Your state, at a glance

Every jurisdiction once, by name. The table above says why each status applies; this is the quick way to find your own.

Power of attorney

We research what each jurisdiction requires for a power of attorney to be validly signed. For the 49 we can draft, the notary and witness requirements are each quoted from the provision that imposes them; the others are refused, with the reason. Reading it is free. We are not taking orders for prepared documents at the moment.

What "cited" actually means

Most document generators ask what you want and print it. The hard part isn't the printing — it's knowing what your state requires for the document to work. So every formality we record carries its source, and you can read all of it:

Tex. Est. Code § 751.0021(a)

"…signed by the principal or in the principal's conscious presence… and acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments."

If a state requires two witnesses, the document has two witness blocks and names the section that requires them. A formality our record does not require is left out rather than added "to be safe", except where the record itself directs that a block be printed — a notary block some states' banks or recorders rely on, for instance — and then the document marks it as included, not required, and gives the reason. Where a statute offers a choice, such as a notary or two witnesses, the document takes the more formal branch and prints the alternative beside it.

Why we refuse 2 jurisdictions

AZ, ME are refused. In each, the statute prescribes attestation wording the corpus does not hold, and the independent verification pass did not confirm the formalities. A power of attorney with the right number of signatures in the wrong statutory form is still defective — and it fails at exactly the moment it's needed, at a bank counter or a hospital, for someone who can no longer sign a new one.

We would rather draft nothing. You can still read everything we hold for those states, free, and take it to an attorney licensed there.

CA, NV we can draft to but would not prepare a document in. Those states regulate non-attorney document preparation directly and we have not completed the registration. That is a limitation on us, not on you; nothing here suggests you cannot make a power of attorney in either state.

Requirements by state

Each name opens what we hold for that jurisdiction — the formalities and the provision behind each one — as raw data. Refused jurisdictions answer too, with their reasons.

How the rules get checked

Researched against primary sources

State codes and administrative rules — not summaries, not law-firm blog posts. Those can locate a provision; they're never authority for one.

Then adversarially re-read

Each state is independently re-checked by a second automated pass asked to disprove the first, answering one question: would a document executed to exactly these formalities be executed as the statute prescribes? 2 of 51 failed that check and are refused because of it.

Questions

Is HomeComply a law firm?

No. HomeComply is operated by Summitstrive Investments Limited, a company registered in Kenya. We are not attorneys. A document is compiled by a non-attorney from your own records and from statutory text you can read for yourself; it is not legal advice and creates no attorney-client relationship.

Do you file the document with my state?

No. We prepare it and you file it. Nothing is sent to any state, district or school board, and every document says so on its face.

What does 'served' mean, and why might my state not be for sale?

Served means we keep your records and track what your state asks for. For sale means we will also sell you the compiled filing. A served state can be unsold because our document has not yet been checked against the contents your state lists, or because filings there are paused while we re-check them. A state that regulates who may prepare documents for consumers, where we are not registered, is not served: we do not sign families up there. In a locked state we prepare nothing, and say so as soon as you tell us your state, before any record is kept.

What happens if my photo or note is unclear?

It comes back to you as the model read it, flagged for you to check, and nothing counts until you confirm or correct it. A note with no photo is always flagged that way. A file we cannot read at all — a voice memo, a PDF, an image format the reader does not take — is kept, and you are told it was not read. Sent on its own, it is put on hold and you are asked what it was.

What is sent to an AI model?

The photos and captions you send are read by Anthropic's AI model to work out what the activity was. Location data is removed from JPEG and PNG photos before they are sent. The model suggests an entry; it never decides that a legal requirement has been met, and nothing counts until you confirm it.

How do I get a copy of my records, or have them deleted?

Text EXPORT for a copy of everything we hold, or DELETE to have our copy removed. Deletion asks you to confirm with a code, because it cannot be undone. While our replies by text are not getting through, the copy and the code reach you only at an email address already confirmed on your account; without one, a deletion cannot be completed yet. A record of what you paid for stays on our server as proof of purchase, with no child's name in it. Copies held by your phone company, the email provider, the AI vendor and the payment processor are outside our reach. Copies of our own are not touched by DELETE and are removed only by hand: our hosting provider's snapshots of the server's disk, kept for up to 60 days, the backup copy we keep off the server, and any email you sent to our support address. Email support@homecomply.org to have your records removed from those too. The deletion receipt names each one.

How do I reach a person?

Email support@homecomply.org. Corrections, copies and deletions start by text from the number on your account rather than by email, so that a message from someone else cannot change or remove a family's records.

Can I order a power of attorney?

Not at the moment. You can read the cited signing requirements for each jurisdiction free of charge, but we are not taking orders for prepared documents.

Who prepares your document. HomeComply is operated by Summitstrive Investments Limited, a company registered in Kenya (company number PVT-5JUZ59X3, registered office HH Towers, Kenyatta Avenue, Nairobi). We are not a law firm and we are not attorneys. Your document is prepared by a non-attorney from statutory text you can read for yourself, and no attorney-client relationship is created. To reach a person, email support@homecomply.org.
What this service does. It takes records you already have — a photo, a note, a worksheet — and compiles them into a document formatted for your state. Each requirement on it shows the provision that imposes it, or is marked where our record holds none.

What it does not do. It does not send anything to any state, district or school board; you file, and we say so on every document. It does not decide that a legal requirement has been met. It does not tell you which lawful route to homeschool under, or advise you on your circumstances. It is not a substitute for a lawyer, and where your situation is contested or unusual, a licensed attorney in your state is the right place to start.
Where we will and will not prepare a document. We researched 51 jurisdictions. We prepare documents in 19 of them today. We refuse 18 outright, because our own record of that state's law did not survive review — the table above names every one and the ground for each. A further 13 are served but not sold: we keep your records and tell you what is outstanding, and we will not sell you a filing there however complete your records are. In 1 more we are not registered to prepare the document, so we do not sign families up there yet.

Refusing is the product working. A document that looks finished and is wrong fails at the moment someone relies on it, which is the worst possible moment.
What we cannot promise. We cannot promise that any institution, district or state office will accept a document, because that is their decision and not ours. Requirements shown reflect our research as of the date printed on each document, and each document also prints the date our record of that state was last revised. Districts and institutions apply state rules differently, and many deadlines are set locally rather than by statute — where that is so, we leave the value blank rather than invent one. Confirm anything dated with the office you file to before you rely on it.
Where your child's records go. Photos you send are read by Anthropic's AI so we can work out what the activity was — that reading is what goes on the filing. Before a photo is sent, location data is removed from it if it is a JPEG or PNG, the formats phone cameras write. GIF and WebP images are sent as received, and if the removal ever fails on a photo, that photo is sent as received rather than lost. Your phone company carries every message between us and keeps its own copy; we delete the photo from them once we have it, and we cannot delete the messages. Records are stored on a server we run, with owner-only permissions, readable by us. Our hosting provider keeps snapshots of that server's disk for up to 60 days, and we keep a backup copy off the server. Nothing is transmitted to any state, district or school board — we prepare the filing, you file it. There is no account and no password, so there is no credential to steal.
Taking a copy, and being deleted. Text EXPORT and we send you everything we hold about your family — every record, every photograph you sent, and every document we produced — as one file you keep. It arrives as a private link plus a six-digit code in a separate message; both stop working an hour later. Text DELETE and we remove it from the server we run. That one asks you to confirm with a code we send you, because it cannot be undone, and when it is done you get a receipt listing what was removed and who still holds a copy.

Some things survive a deletion, and we would rather say so than let you find out later. What you paid for stays on record: if we deleted it, a parent who paid and then asked to be forgotten would have no proof of purchase, and any later dispute would resolve against them. It is an opaque reference with no child's name in it. Copies held by other companies we cannot reach at all — your phone company keeps every message between us, the email provider keeps whatever you forwarded and anything we send to you, the AI that reads your photos has its own terms, and the payment processor keeps its own records. Copies of our own are not touched by DELETE and are removed only by hand: our hosting provider's snapshots of the disk last up to 60 days, there is the backup copy we keep off the server, and there is any email you sent to our support address. Email support@homecomply.org to have your records removed from those too. The receipt names all of them.

Both start with a text from the number on your account. While our replies by text are not getting through, the copy and the deletion code reach you only at an email address already confirmed on your account. Our texting number is still being registered with the phone carriers, so our replies may not reach you yet.
