We are pleased to announce Child Care Licensing is now part of the newly consolidated Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Carmen Richins, who has been serving as the Office of Background Processing Director, is now the Interim Director of the Division of Licensing & Background Checks, and Simon Bolivar is the Director of the Office of Licensing under that division.
Nos complace anunciar que Licencias de Cuidado Infantil (CCL) ahora forma parte del recientemente consolidado Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (DHHS). Carmen Richins, quien ha servido como Directora de la Oficina de Procesamiento de Antecedentes, ahora es la Directora Provisional de la División de Licencias y Verificación de Antecedentes, y Simón Bolívar es el Director de la Oficina de Licencias de esa división.

We received a lot of applications for the 2022 Compliance Grant and hope to have notifications out by the end of August. Final decisions have not yet been made and contacting CCL staff may delay that decision making process. We thank everyone for their patience.
This grant will not be retroactive. Providers may not make any purchases or begin any installations until the contract is fully executed. (The contract is fully executed when both parties have signed and dated the contract.)
Providers who are awarded a grant may receive an email from a State of Utah employee requesting they complete a registration in PaymentWorks. This is a legitimate email and failure to complete this registration will result in the grant being cancelled.

The fingerprint form is now generated through the provider's Child Care Licensing Portal. A "Download Fingerprint Form" button will appear after a background check form is authorized. When fingerprints are required for the covered individual, the person who authorized the background check form is to click that button, print the downloaded form, and give the form to the individual to hand to the techician capturing their fingerprints.

During inspections, licensors will ask to see a government-issued photo ID (or a copy of that ID) for each covered individual. This is to verify the identity of the covered individual and to ensure all covered individuals passed the background check.
