A written application must be completed by the applicant(s) interested in providing family foster care for children. The application is not complete or considered received until the initial fingerprint-based background check and signed application (SFN 893) are received by the authorized licensing agent during the initial licensing period.

 

Each year after receiving an initial foster care license, the applicant(s) must apply (SFN 400) for a renewal license. If a foster care license expires or there is a lapse in licensure (even for one day), the family will be considered a “prospective foster family” and a new fingerprint-based criminal background check will be required in order to begin the process of licensing again.
