UF 112 is used for which purpose?

• A. Release of child to designated adult
• B. Personal information change
• C. Bomb threat checklist
• D. Property receipt form

Answer: (A)

UF 112 is the form used to authorize the release of a minor to a designated adult. The idea behind this form is to document who is permitted to take possession of the child and under what conditions, so staff can verify the person picking up the child and ensure the transfer is legitimate. In practice, it’s filled out when a parent or guardian cannot personally pick up the child and wants another trusted adult—such as a relative or caregiver—to do so. The form includes the child’s identifying information, the designated adult’s name and relationship to the child, contact details, and the signatures of the parent or guardian authorizing the release, along with the date and time. It may also set any specific restrictions (for example, requiring photo ID, limiting pickup to certain times, or naming only the approved individual). This creates a clear, documented process to prevent unauthorized releases and protect the child. It isn’t used for changing personal information, handling bomb threats, or serving as a property receipt form.
