Which form is used to document the release of a child to a designated adult?

• A. UF 110
• B. UF 112
• C. UF 111
• D. UF 113

Answer: (B)

When a child is released to a designated adult, the record must clearly identify who is taking custody, who authorized the release, and when it occurred. The form UF 112 is the official instrument for this purpose. It documents the child’s details, the designated adult’s name and relationship, the release date and time, and the necessary signatures or attestations from the responsible official and the designated adult. This creates a precise, auditable trail that the release was carried out as ordered and to the person authorized to receive the child. Other forms exist for different court actions, so they would not be appropriate for documenting this specific handoff.
