INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCATE DATA SHEET
PURPOSE OF THE FORM:
The Locate Data Sheet is used by a IV-D agency for requesting locate information (regarding either parent, employer,
wages, assets) from another State. The requesting jurisdiction completes as much of the form as possible with the
information it has.

Italicized text that appears within a “box” refers to policy or provides additional information.
In addition to the more common data elements specified on the Locate Data Sheet, space is provided to note other locate/
asset information particular to the case. For example, information on wages, violence potential, military/veteran status,
and relatives may prove useful in working a case.

USE CSENET IF AN AGREEMENT IS IN PLACE.
Quick Locate. The Locate Data Sheet is used to request “quick locate.” You may send the request directly to the
responding State’s Parent Locator Service. “Quick locate” is useful if a State believes that a parent may be in one of
several States, but is unsure of which State. If a State intends to use its long-arm jurisdiction to establish or enforce an
order, it may choose to use “quick locate” to confirm the parent’s location.

HEADING/CAPTION:
• Identify the petitioner and respondent name (first, middle, last) and Social Security Number in the appropriate

spaces.
• Check the appropriate space to identify the type of case: TANF; IV-E Foster Care, Medicaid only; former assistance,

never assistance, or Non-IV-D.
TANF means the obligee’s family receives IV-A cash payments. A Medicaid only case is a case where the
obligee’s family receives Medicaid but does not receive TANF (IV-A cash payments).
• In the space marked “To:”, list the name and address (street, city, State, and zip code) of the court or agency where

you are sending the Locate Data Sheet.
• In the space marked “From:”, list a contact person, agency name, address (street, city, State, zip code), phone

number (including extension), fax number, and e-mail address.
• In the appropriate spaces, enter the Initiating jurisdiction’s FIPS code, State, and IV-D case identifier, and tribunal

number.
Under “IV-D case identifier”, enter the number/identifier identical to the one submitted on the Federal Case
Registry, which is a left-justified 15-character alphanumeric field, allowing all characters except asterisk and
backslash, and with all characters in uppercase. Under “tribunal number”, you may enter the docket number,
cause number, or any other appropriate reference number which the initiating tribunal or agency has assigned
to the case. The initiating jurisdiction is the jurisdiction that referred the case to the responding jurisdiction for
services.

BODY OF FORM:
• Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the locate information pertains to the “Non Custodial Parent” or
“Custodial Parent”. Check the box for “Possibly Dangerous” if the party may be dangerous.
• Provide as much information about the party as possible.
• For “Full Name”, enter the party’s complete name (First, Middle, Last).
• Provide “Social Security Number(s)”, if known; this information is vital.
• Enter the party’s “Alias”, “Maiden Name”, or “Mother’s Maiden or Father’s Name” if known and check the appropriate
box to identify the type of name provided.
• Enter the party’s “Current Spouse’s Name”, if known.
• Enter the party’s date of birth or approximate year of birth if exact date is unknown.
