(a) You must develop policies for the release of children, including a plan to verify the identity of a person authorized to pick up a child, but whom the caregiver does not know. If your child-care home transports children, the plan must include verifying the identity of a person to whom you release a child from a child-care home transportation vehicle.
(b) Caregivers must be the individuals responsible for overseeing the release of children in care.
(c) Your policies must include a reasonable means to record the identity of the individual, such as making a copy of a valid photo identification or instant photograph of the individual or recording the driver's license number or license plate number. You must retain this information in the child's record for at least three months.
(d) You must instruct all caregivers and household members, who are 14 years of age and older who are regularly or frequently present at the child-care home while children are in care, of your policies for the release of children, including the verification plan.
