(1) The division of child support (DCS) makes diligent and reasonable efforts to locate the noncustodial parent (NCP), including referral to the federal parent locator service (FPLS).

(2) A request for locate services is not an application for full support enforcement services.

(3) If DCS is successful in locating the NCP, the case does not automatically convert to a full support enforcement services case, but you may apply for full services.

(4) If DCS is unsuccessful in locating the NCP using local and state resources, DCS closes the case as provided in WAC 388-14A-2080(12).
