Registered Family and Certified Family licenses have separate application pathways. DELC's form library labels program types, and several general forms include center-only clauses that home providers should not automatically adopt.

Check the form and your provider type.
An official agency form is issued or listed by the agency; that label alone does not establish mandatory use. A required state form is identified as mandatory in the cited instructions. A required record identifies information you must maintain; its format may be flexible. An optional template is a suggested format. Official instructions / portal links explain the application or record process.
Read “Applies to” and “Format and applicability” for each item. Home, group-home, center, local licensing, food-program, and subsidy requirements can differ.

Initial licensing applications are obtained through training or a licensing specialist; no substitute application template is provided.
General enrollment form contains center-only language; provider type must be checked before treating each clause as a home requirement.
