Requests For Consent

​Please complete the appropriate form based on the type of request. You do not need to fill out the CFS form prior to completing the online form; the CFS form will be generated for you upon submission. If you have your own internal form for a consent type that has a standard DCFS form, submit it as an attachment with the DCFS form submission. If you do not receive a consent within 5-7 business days, please call the Consent Unit Hotline. Do not re-submit a request within that timeframe. Do not use acronyms anywhere in the request. 

Requests are processed Monday - Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm CST.
