About each permit
Family Child Care Home Permit
A small home-based child care provider in Fairfax County obtains a family child care permit from the Office for Children: a $14 permit application fee, plus a $30 Fingerprint National Background Check processing fee for each person age 18 or older in the home, non-refundable and repeated every 5 years, as stated verbatim on the Office for Children's own current apply-for-a-permit page: 'A $30 processing fee is required for each person needing a Fingerprint National Background Check.' An additional $8.72 online-scheduling fee is charged separately per adult at the time of booking the fingerprint appointment, not combined with the $30 processing payment, and a $50 fee applies to any returned check. Fairfax County Code Chapter 30 is the citation referenced on the Office for Children's own application-reference materials.
