(a) You must develop operation policies for the release of children, including a plan to verify the identity of a person authorized to pick up a child but whom the caregiver does not know. If your operation transports children, the plan must include verifying the identity of a person to whom you release a child from an operation transportation vehicle.
(b) Your policies must include a reasonable means to record the identity of the individual, such as a copy of valid photo identification, an instant photograph of the individual, or recording the driver's license number and car license plate numbers. You must retain this information in the child's records for at least three months.
(c) You must instruct all employees in the operation's policies for the release of children, including the verification plan.
