If you are parents, the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office will provide you with fingerprint cards of your children for free. The actual cards and information are not maintained by this agency but are provided to the legal guardians for safe-keeping. The fingerprint cards may prove invaluable in the event of a lost child. This service is offered to protect the welfare of all children.
