An application(SFN 893) must be completed by the applicant(s) interested in providing family foster care for children. The application is not complete until the initial fingerprint-based criminal background check results are received.
Each year after receiving an initial foster care license, the foster care provider(s) must apply (SFN 893) for a renewal license. If a foster care license expires or there is a lapse in licensure (even for one day), the foster care provider 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.
