Why do I have to provide all of the addresses back to 1988 or my Date of Birth, whichever is most recent?
For the protection and safety of our children, by providing previous residency back to 1988 or Date of Birth, the Central Office Background Check Unit is able to conduct a more thorough search on each Applicant. The Indiana DCS statewide electronic child protective services index database was created on January 1, 1998, with historical case information extending as far back as January 1, 1988, depending on jurisdiction. Our searches are completed with results based on the information provided by the Applicant using the Indiana DCS statewide electronic child protective services index database which may return substantiated results from completed assessments ranging from January 1, 1988 through the completed date of the Department of Child Services “CPS/CPI History Check.”
Although address history must go back to January 1988 or your date of birth, whichever is more recent, only fields with asterisks are required. You do not have to fill in every complete address where you lived during that time or every single time you moved. So if you lived at various addresses in Chicago from January 1988 - March 1993, you just need to list "Chicago, Illinois" for these dates. (For Indiana addresses, the county and city are also required.)
