Authorize someone to care for your children: Child Care Authorization Form
What is a Child Care Authorization Form?
Create a Child Care Authorization to define the terms when another person can make decisions about your child.
If you want to grant legal authority to make major decisions, create a Power of Attorney for Child instead.
When to use a Child Care Authorization:
- You would like to authorize your child's school to release your child to another individual.
- You would like to give authorization for another individual to make decisions regarding your child in your unexpected absence.
