CFS689 forms will only be accepted electronically, via our dedicated email address listed above.

• The form must be signed (hand-written) and dated within one year of the process date. (typed signatures are not accepted)
• In order to apply our clearance stamps and process your form, it must be submitted as a PDF attachment with no encryption. The PDF must be an external attachment (using the paperclip icon) and not imbedded into the body of the email.
• Attach a maximum of 20 PDF file-formatted CFS689 forms per email. Please combine multiple forms (up to 20) into 1 PDF document.
• If there is not DCFS history to be reported, you will receive your CFS689 form back via email, with the applied “NO PRIORS” clearance stamp.
• If there is a POSITIVE HIT, you will receive an email notifying you that your results will be returned via standard mail or fax.
• Return Agency information is required. Please complete ALL agency fields in lower, left-hand corner.
• Our processing time fluctuates greatly throughout the year as it is based on the number of forms we receive. Please do NOT resubmit your request.
