PI 17-08

 

 

N.D.C.C. 50-11.3-01 provides that before appointment as a legal guardian under Chapter 27-20, the individual must be subject to an assessment that includes the result of a criminal history record investigation. In addition, any adult living in the household is also subject to a criminal history record investigation. In all cases, a criminal history record check will include a Bureau of Criminal Investigation (ND BCI) check and a fingerprint based FBI check. CFS pays for the BCI/FBI background checks.  

 

The guardianship background check request must be submitted to CFS on the specific forms related to guardianship. (Refer to guardianship background check instructions in Procedures for Background checks, Prospective Guardians for Children, for complete information.)
