IMPORTANT NOTICE! Effective April 15, 2012, the FBI will move to an all-electronic criminal background check (CBC) application process and will no longer accept hard-copy fingerprint cards. Because the Maryland Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) follows FBI guidelines, the use of hard-copy CBC applications at the State level will start to be phased out as of that date. Instead, all CBC applicants will be encouraged to submit their applications electronically. However, hard-copy applications will still be accepted by CJIS if electronic submission is not possible. Click here for a list of State-approved private electronic fingerprinting services and State-operated electronic fingerprinting locations. Electronic applications may also be submitted through many State and local police agencies. Child care programs that have their own State-certified electronic fingerprinting equipment and operators may continue to submit CBC applications.

NOTICE TO PARENTS AND PROVIDERS:
Maryland's Child Passenger Safety Law was changed effective June 30, 2008. Under this change, every child under 8 years old must ride in an appropriate child restraint unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller, or weighs more than 65 pounds. Every child from 8 to 16 years old who is not secured in a child restraint must be secured in a vehicle seat belt. If you would like to learn more about this law, or would like information on selecting or using child restraints, please call Maryland Kids in Safety Seats (Maryland KISS) at 410-767-6016 or log on to www.mdkiss.org.
