Each year approximately 725,000 children are reported missing in the United States. The Kids ID program gives parents the peace of mind that they are prepared for the unthinkable.

As a resource to California parents, the Masons of California provides free fingerprinting and photo identification for children of all ages. The identification sheet provided to parents also includes space to record height, weight, eye and hair color, and distinguishing marks. The identification sheet is extremely valuable to authorities if a child is ever missing or abducted.
The entire process takes only a minute and no information is ever recorded on the computer equipment.
Since the program began in 1998, more than 300,000 California children have received this important documentation.
California lodges provide this free service in Kids ID booths at fairs and other community events across the state.
