In transfer requests, what designates a request for out of state transfer?

• A. Request for in-state transfer
• B. Request for out of state transfer
• C. Release certificate with attachments
• D. Photographs of client

Answer: (B)

When handling transfer requests, you must identify whether the move crosses state lines. The designation used to signal a cross‑state move is a request for out of state transfer. This explicit label triggers the interstate processing steps, including coordination with the receiving state and any required compact paperwork, ensuring the case follows the correct cross‑state workflow and documentation.

In contrast, an in-state transfer label would indicate movement within the same state and wouldn’t engage those interstate processes. The other options point to documents or items related to release or intake rather than to how the transfer is routing between states, so they don’t designate the transfer type.
