Child ID Kits

The Iowa Attorney General's office is partnering with the National Child Identification Program, Alliant Energy, and MidAmerican to provide all Iowa K-12 students with identification kits.

As a result, you will be receiving an inkless, at-home child ID kit.

This kit should take less than 2 minutes to complete, never enters a database, and should be stored solely by you, as a parent or guardian, in a cool, dry, safe place at home
