What is a Child Identity Kit?
A comprehensive 5 x 7 inch booklet detailing personal, physical and medical information about your child. It also includes a fingerprint section and envelopes for DNA samples.
Why do I need a Child Identity Kit?
The first 24 hours after a child has gone missing are critical and having your child's personal information already prepared for Law Enforcement is extremely helpful. You will be saving time that authorities need to start right away, not wasting it trying to remember details when you're under duress.
What does a Child Identity Kit contain?
- Complete personal and medical information

Where do I keep a Child Identity Kit?
This kit is stored at home in an easily-accessible, memorable location. A place you would instinctively look in to find important information.
Are Child Identity Kits for all kids?
ABSOLUTELY! These kits are for ALL KIDS (and adults for that matter!) but are particularly beneficial for children who are unsupervised for part/s of the day and are at greater risk. For example, kids who:
- Take city transit regularly
- Go to and from school/activities by themselves
- Travel between different homes
- Truancy / Quitting school / Troubled
- Juvenile delinquency / At risk
- Living on the streets / Runaways
Anything else I should know?

- These only benefit you if they're ready BEFORE an EMERGENCY
- We recommend updating these EVERY SIX MONTHS to keep info accurate
You won't remember
Do the terms Fight or Flight, Lizard brain, or Gross motor function ring a bell? They all reference a human's inability to think and function well when under severe stress, like in an emergency. Scientific studies have consistently shown that high stress levels have detrimental effects on cognitive (brain) functions, particularly memory and decision-making.
A child going missing is definitely a high-stress situation, not to mention extremely time-sensitive! Wasting time and energy trying to remember certain details, some of which could be crucial, is not helpful to anyone, particularly your child. Don't rely on your brain to perform under pressure, prepare in advance for emergencies.
